• Biological Markets : The Ubiquitous Influence of Partner Choice on the Dynamics of Cleaner Fish - Client Reef Fish Interactions (2003, unknown): “Cleaners switched from resident clients to choosy clients 51 times but only once the other way round, and when a choosy client and a resident client invited inspection simultaneously, the cleaners inspected the choosy client in 65 out of 66 observations (Bshary 2001).”
• Time-matched grooming in female primates?: New analyses from two species (2004, background): “…predicted aspects of interspecific mutualisms, such as the exchange of protection for nectar between ants and lycaenid butterflies (Axén et al. 1996; Axén & Pierce 1998; Weith 1998, cited in Noë 2001), and the exchange of cleaning for food between cleaner fish and their clients (Bshary 2001).”
• Experimental evidence that partner choice is a driving force in the payoff distribution among cooperators or mutualists: the cleaner fish case (2002, unknown): “(1) Choosy clients usually swim off if they are not inspected immediately, while resident clients tend to queue for service (Bshary 2001).”

• Infants as a commodity in a baboon market (2002, background): “However, empirical work suggests that it is, in fact, possible for dominance, coercion and punishment (sensu Clutton-Brock & Parker 1995) to act as market forces and to play a significant role in the generation of market effects (see Barrett & Henzi 2001; Bshary 2001).”
