Widespread non-native species tend to demonstrate an apparent lack of selectivity in habitat
requirements, feeding regimes, and reproductive needs, while displaying a tendency to …

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 …

Sympatric diversification is recognized to have played an important role in the evolution of
biodiversity. However, an in situ sympatric origin for codistributed taxa is difficult to …

Within tropical coastal habitats such as coral reefs and seagrass meadows, sea anemones
(Actiniaria) provide microhabitats for a diverse range of fauna. However, the mechanisms …

Coral reef cnidarians often host crustaceans in multi-level symbioses that may cause reef-
wide impacts, especially through anemoneshrimp cleaner interactions with fish clients …

Population genetic studies of symbiotic anthozoans have been historically challenging
because their endosymbioses with dinoflagellates have impeded marker development …

Social interactions among Pederson cleaner shrimp Ancylomenes pedersoni, an associate
of sea anemones, likely affect cleaning services to reef fishes, but major aspects of their …

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 …

Anthozoan cnidarians form the backbone of coral reefs. Their success relies on
endosymbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae …

Cleaning mutualisms are important interactions on coral reefs. Intraspecific variation in
cleaning rate and behaviour occurs geographically and is often attributed to local processes …
