Phylogenetic relationships and evolution of cleaning behaviour in the family Labridae: importance of body colour pattern.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2006

Arnal C, Verneau O, Desdevises Y

Abstract excerpt

The family Labridae contains numerous fishes known to act as cleaners in the wild. Previous studies suggested that a small body size and specific colour patterns may be prerequisites for cleaning. We investigated whether cleaning behaviour is linked to particular fish phenotypes. We first present...
