Abstract

Pauline Narvaez found that the dedicated cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus, is susceptible to a diversity of parasites and can potentially transmit them to their fish clients. Her work presents a paradigm shift in the prevailing theory that cleaning symbiosis has predominantly positive impacts on coral reef fish communities.
