Cleaning behaviour is deemed a mutualism, however the benefit of cleaning interactions to
client individuals is unknown. Furthermore, mechanisms that may shift fish community …

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse habitats in the world [1], yet our understanding of the

Summary 1 In marine cleaning symbioses, small fish or shrimps remove ectoparasites and
other material from cooperating 'client'fish. Until now, there has been conflicting evidence …

The exact nature of many interspecific interactions remains unclear, with some evidence
suggesting mutualism and other evidence pointing to parasitism for the same pair of …

Although cleaning interactions are deemed a textbook example of mutualism, there is limited
