Paula J, Repolho T, Grutter A, Rosa R
Front Physiol
. 2022 Jun;
13:859556.
PMID: 35755439
Cleaning symbioses are key mutualistic interactions where cleaners remove ectoparasites and tissues from client fishes. Such interactions elicit beneficial effects on clients' ecophysiology, with cascading effects on fish diversity and...

Ros A, Nusbaumer D, Triki Z, Grutter A, Bshary R
J Exp Biol
. 2020 Nov;
223(Pt 24).
PMID: 33188063
In many mutualisms, benefits in the form of food are exchanged for services such as transport or protection. In the marine cleaning mutualism, a variety of 'client' reef fishes offer...

Allan B, Illing B, Fakan E, Narvaez P, Grutter A, Sikkel P, et al.
J Exp Biol
. 2020 Jul;
223(Pt 16).
PMID: 32611788
Parasites can account for a substantial proportion of the biomass in marine communities. As such, parasites play a significant ecological role in ecosystem functioning via host interactions. Unlike macropredators, such...

Grutter A, Feeney W, Hutson K, McClure E, Narvaez P, Smit N, et al.
Int J Parasitol
. 2020 Jun;
50(10-11):825-837.
PMID: 32505649
The reliance of parasites on their hosts makes host-parasite interactions ideal models for exploring ecological and evolutionary processes. By providing a consistent supply of parasites, in vivo monocultures offer the...

Hutson K, Cable J, Grutter A, Paziewska-Harris A, Barber I
Trends Parasitol
. 2018 Nov;
34(12):1082-1096.
PMID: 30473011
In this era of unprecedented growth in aquaculture and trade, aquatic parasite cultures are essential to better understand emerging diseases and their implications for human and animal health. Yet culturing...

Sci Rep
. 2018 Sep;
8(1):13959.
PMID: 30228312
Chemical use is widespread in aquaculture to treat parasitic diseases in farmed fish. Cleaner fish biocontrols are increasingly used in fish farming as an alternative to medicines. However, cleaner fish...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2018 Mar;
285(1874).
PMID: 29514969
Cleaning organisms play a fundamental ecological role by removing ectoparasites and infected tissue from client surfaces. We used the well-studied cleaning mutualisms involving the cleaner wrasse, to test how client...
