Article Abstract:

A mutually beneficial interaction between two species of fish is studied to see whether the organisms could learn about who was trustworthy by observing others by afar. The social network uncovered from the study, if proved to be common in other animals, can open up new avenues for scientists to study animal behaviour as being embedded in a rich social tapestry, composed of interconnected direct and indirect streams of information.
