Cleaner fish are sensitive to what their partners can and cannot see

K. Mcauliffe, L. A. Drayton, et al.

This fascinating study explores the mind of cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) and reveals that these fish may have theory of mind capacities, adjusting their behavior based on what their partners can see. Conducted by researchers including Katherine McAuliffe and Laurie R. Santos from prestigious universities, the findings highlight the cognitive complexities that can arise from ecological pressures, suggesting strategic deception might be a driver of evolution across species.
