interesting but they messed up the discussion on altruism by contradicting themselves
"Switzerland, say their study could explain the evolution of apparently altruistic behaviour in other species"

"By punishing cheating females, the males are not really sticking up for the clients but are making sure that they get a decent meal," said Raihani"

Its not Altruism if the male is benefitting by punishing the females...hmm that evolutionary biology class did stick nice.

journalists like to muddle the language and i think they inadvertantly make the larger point that there is no true altruism. its a win - win relationship for the cleaner and the client which would make it symbiotic and not altruistic.
