dc.description.abstractThis study reports six new types of cleaning interactions among tropical reef fish species at São Tomé Island, and confirms previously reported interactions for this area. Spicara melanurus was recorded as a cleaner for the first time, and Abudefduf saxatilis was confirmed in this role, following reports from the Southwest Atlantic. Individuals belonging to the family Labridae were the most commonly-observed cleaners, involved in over 85% of recorded interactions. Juveniles of Bodianus speciosus played a key role as cleaners, interacting with at least seven client species. In addition, some of the client fishes, including Paranthias furcifer and Acanthurus monroviae, interacted with at least four cleaner fish species. All cleaner fish species reported in this study were facultative; obligate cleaners appear to be absent from this region.eng
dc.description.abstractInteractions de nettoyage de poissons de l’île Sao Tomé, Afrique de l’Ouest. Cette étude présente six nouveaux types d’interactions de nettoyage entre plusieurs espèces de poissons de récif tropicales de l’île de São Tomé, et confirme quelques observations précédemment rapportées pour cette région. Spicara melanurus a été observé comme nettoyeur pour la première fois et Abudefduf saxatilis a été confirmé dans ce rôle, d’après des études menées dans le Sud-ouest de l’Atlantique. Des individus appartenant à la famille Labridae ont été les plus observés en tant que nettoyeurs, impliquée dans plus de 85% des interactions enregistrées. Les juvéniles de Bodianus speciosus ont un rôle primordial en tant que nettoyeurs, ils ont été observés en interaction avec au moins sept espèces. En outre, certains poissons clients, comme Paranthias furcifer et Acanthurus monroviae, ont interagi avec au moins quatre espèces de nettoyeurs. Toutes les espèces de poissons nettoyeurs décrites dans cette étude étaient facultatives; les poissons nettoyeurs obligatoires semblent être absents de cette région.fra
