Interspecific variation in cleaning behaviour and cheating among coral reef cleaner fishes

This study examines cheating behavior in coral reef cleaner fishes using standardized experiments, finding interspecific variation in interaction patterns and context-dependent behavioral responses.

Early-Life Exposure to Warming Enhances Sea Urchin Heatwave Tolerance but Fails under Extreme Stress

This study shows that early-life exposure to warming increases sea urchin tolerance to moderate heatwaves but not extreme ones, revealing context-dependent developmental plasticity.

Cleaner gobies can solve a biological market task when the correct cue is larger

Cleaner gobies solved a biological market task using plate size as a cue but not other cues, suggesting cognitive abilities shaped by ecological roles.

Sickness behaviour within cleaning interactions

This study investigates if cleaner wrasses exhibit sickness behaviour to prevent disease spread during cleaning interactions, finding reduced activity and altered social interactions.
