Nanoscale ultrastructures increase the visual conspicuousness of signalling traits in obligate cleaner shrimps
Signal theory predicts organisms should evolve signals that are conspicuous to intended
receivers in natural signalling environments. Cleaner shrimps remove ectoparasites from …

Stable isotopes disentangle niche partitioning and co‐occurrence in a multi‐species marine mutualism
Ecologists have long sought general explanations for the co‐occurrence of ecologically
similar taxa. Niche theory explains co‐occurrence via functional differences among taxa that …

Multiple origins and strong phenotypic convergence in fish-cleaning palaemonid shrimp lineages
Several species of palaemonid shrimps are known to act as fish-cleaning symbionts, with
cleaning interactions ranging from dedicated (obligate) to facultative. We confirmed five …

Comparative diversity of anemone-associated fishes and decapod crustaceans in a Belizean coral reef and seagrass system
Within tropical coastal habitats such as coral reefs and seagrass meadows, sea anemones

Widespread Occurrence of a Rarely Known Association between the Hydrocorals Stylaster roseus and Millepora alcicornis at Bonaire, Southern Caribbean
Among symbiotic associations, cases of pseudo-auto-epizoism, in which a species uses a
resembling but not directly related species as substrate, are poorly documented in coral reef …

Cleaner shrimp are true cleaners of injured fish
Reef fishes sustain injuries from various behavioural and environmental interactions. Injured
fishes have been observed frequenting cleaning stations to be attended by different cleaner …
