Ellen comes clean about the bluestreak cleaner wrasse. We discuss trust, cheating, fish patriarchy, manipulation, deception, game theory, the prisoner's dilemma, marketing, the mirror test, the horrors of self-awareness, and so much more. Christian drinks a Capri-Sun. Works Cited:<ol><li><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/srep04369">“Testing the Low-density Hypothesis for Reversed Sex Change in Polygynous Fish: Experiments in Labroides dimidiatus”</a> - Tetsuo Kuwamura et al., Scientific Reports, March 2014</li><li>“<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/43469814_Punishment_and_partner_switching_cause_cooperative_behaviour_in_a_cleaning_mutualism">Punishment and partner switching cause cooperative behavior in a cleaning mutualism</a>” - Redouan Bshary & Alexandra Grutter, Biology Letters, July 2005</li><li>“<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236327771_Power_and_temptation_cause_shifts_between_exploitation_and_cooperation_in_a_cleaner_wrasse_mutualism">Power and temptation cause shifts between exploitation and cooperation in a cleaner wrasse mutualism</a>” - Simon Gingins et al., Proc.
