Dominance hierarchies in group-living cleaning gobies: Causes and foraging consequences

Article Abstract:

The causes and foraging consequences of dominance hierarchies in social groups of cleaning gobies, Elacatinus prochilos, in Barbados are studied. It is concluded that intraspecific competition for resources generates the dominance ranks and give support for the individual physical attributes to form and maintain dominance hierarchies.
