  • Cleaning Symbiosis Among California Inshore Fishes
    CLEANING SYMBIOSIS AMONG CALIFORNIA INSHORE FISHES EDMUNDS. HOBSON' ABSTRACT Cleaning symbiosis among shore fishes was studied during 1968 and 1969 in southern California, with work centered at La Jolla. Three species are habitual cleaners: the seAoriF, Ozyjulis californica; the sharpnose seaperch, Phanerodon atripes; and the kelp perch, Brachyistius frenatus. Because of specific differences in habitat, there is little overlap in the cleaning areas of these three spe- cies. Except for juvenile sharpnose seaperch, cleaning is of secondary significance to these species, even though it may be of major significance to certain individuals. The tendency to clean varies between in- dividuals. Principal prey of most members of these species are free-living organisms picked from a substrate and from midwater-a mode of feeding that favors adaptations suited to cleaning. Because it is exceedingly abundant in a variety of habitats, the seiiorita is the predominant inshore cleaning fish in California. Certain aspects of its cleaning relate to the fact that only a few of the many seiioritas present at a given time will clean, and that this activity is not centered around well-defined cleaning stations, as has been reported for certain cleaning fishes elsewhere. Probably because cleaners are difficult to recognize among the many seiioritas that do not clean, other fishes.generally do not at- tempt to initiate-cleaning; rather, the activity is consistently initiated by the cleaner itself. An infest- ed fish approached by a cleaner generally drifts into an unusual attitude that advertises the temporary existence of the transient cleaning station to other fish in need of service, and these converge on the cleaner.

  • Cheaters Must Prosper: Reconciling Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives on Cheating in Mutualism
    Ecology Letters, (2015) 18: 1270–1284 doi: 10.1111/ele.12507 REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS Cheaters must prosper: reconciling theoretical and empirical perspectives on cheating in mutualism Abstract Emily I. Jones,1,2,3† Cheating is a focal concept in the study of mutualism, with the majority of researchers considering Michelle E. Afkhami,4 Erol Akßcay,5 cheating to be both prevalent and highly damaging. However, current definitions of cheating do Judith L. Bronstein,6 Redouan not reliably capture the evolutionary threat that has been a central motivation for the study of Bshary,7 Megan E.

  • Geographic Variation in the Behaviour of the Cleaner Fish Labroides Dimidiatus (Labridae)
    Ethology 108, 353—366 (2002) Ó 2002 Blackwell Verlag, Berlin ISSN 0179–1613 Geographic Variation in the Behaviour of the Cleaner Fish Labroides dimidiatus (Labridae) Carley Bansemer*, Alexandra S. Grutter & Robert Poulinà *Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Moreton Bay Marine Park, Cleveland, Queensland, Australia; Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia; àDepartment of Zoology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand Abstract Geographical variation in the outcome ofinterspecific interactions has a range ofproximate ecological causes. For instance, cleaning interactions between coral reeffishes can result in benefits forboth the cleaner and its clients. However, because both parties can cheat and because the rewards of cheating may depend on the local abundance ofectoparasites on clients, the interaction might range from exploitative to mutualistic. In a comparative analysis ofbehavioural measures ofthe association between the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus and all its client species, we compared cleaning interactions between two sites on the Great Barrier Reefthat differ with respect to mean ectoparasite abundance. At Heron Island, where client fish consistently harbour fewer ectoparasites, client species that tended to pose for cleaners were more likely to receive feeding bites by cleaners than client species that did not pose for cleaners. This was not the case at Lizard Island, where ectoparasites are significantly more abundant. Client fish generally spent more time posing for cleaners at Lizard Island than their conspecifics at Heron Island. However, fish at Heron Island were inspected longer on average by cleaners than conspecifics at Lizard Island, and they incurred more bites and swipes at their sides per unit time from cleaners.

  • The False Cleanerfish Relies on Aggressive Mimicry to Bite Fish Fins
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The false cleanerfsh relies on aggressive mimicry to bite fsh fns when benthic foods are scarce in their local habitat Misaki Fujisawa1,2 ✉ , Yoichi Sakai1,3 & Tetsuo Kuwamura4,5 The false cleanerfsh, Aspidontus taeniatus (Blenniidae), is known for its morphological resemblance to the bluestreak cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus (Labridae). It has been suggested that A. taeniatus, which acts as a mimic, can easily bite the fns of other fshes that are deceived into requesting cleaning from it or allowing it to approach them. In fact, A. taeniatus frequently utilises benthic food items, such as damselfsh eggs, the Christmas tree worm Spirobranchus giganteus, and the boring clam Tridacna crocea. Although geographical variation in the reliance on aggressive mimicry (fn biting) has been reported, the factors have not been determined. We hypothesised that one of the factors is the abundance of benthic food items. To examine our hypothesis, we compared the feeding behaviour of A. taeniatus at two locations showing contrasting abundances of benthic food items in Okinawa, southern Japan. The frequency of fn biting by the small A. taeniatus in Ishigaki Island, where S. giganteus and T. crocea were very rare, was signifcantly higher than that in Sesoko Island, where the two food items were abundant. We conclude that the importance of aggressive mimicry in A. taeniatus varies depending on local food conditions. Aggressive mimicry is a form of imitation in which a predator or parasite (mimic) closely copies another organ- ism (model) that is attractive or harmless to a third organism (dupe) to gain enhanced access to prey.
