We compared time spent at cleaning stations and ectoparasite loads for adult and subadult yellowtail damselfish Microspathodon chrysurus on nearshore fringing reefs in Barbados. In a preliminary study on 2 reefs in summer 1997, both time spent at cleaning stations and frequency of chafing were inv...
Interactions between cleaning gobies and territorial damselfish on coral reefs We studied the interactions between cleaning , spp., at cleaning stations and territorial dusky damselfish, fuscus, on a Barbadian fringing reef to enhance... C Arnal,IM C?Oté - 《Animal Behaviour》 被引量: 84发表: ...
Dedicated cleaner fish, which acquire all their food resources through client interactions, rely on both the habitat structures (by using topological cleaning stations) and the wide diversity of fish species available on coral reefs, to function. As a result of natural and anthropogenic threats, ...
The coral reefs of Jardines de la Reina National Park (JRNP) are subject to a protection gradient and there is a lack of knowledge about the effect of different levels of protection on the cleaning mutualistic networks in the area. The present study aims to characterize the mut...

Habitat/sex differences in time at cleaning stations and ectoparasite loads in a Caribbean reef fish In a preliminary study on 2 reefs in summer 1997, both time spent at cleaning stations and frequency of chafing were inversely correlated with distance ... PC Sikkel,CA Fuller,W Hunte - 《Ma...
We provide the first evidence of the potential operation of a buffer effect for a site-attached marine species. Caribbean cleaning gobies Elacatinus prochilos occupy coral and sponge substrata on fringing reefs in Barbados. Cleaning gobies at coral cleaning stations are frequently solitary or found ...
This facultative cleaning seems to result from accidental encounters, not at established cleaning stations. Swarms of Plotosus juveniles can move hundreds of meters in one hour while feeding over sand. Near sundown they retire for the night under a reef ledge or...
We deployed remote underwater video cameras on coral reefs in the Bay Islands, Hondu- ras, to explore temporal variation of cleaning interactions at Pederson shrimp (Ancylomenes pedersoni) stations. We recorded more than 650 individual cleaning interac- tions in over 190 h of video. We find ...
