• Effects of isotocin on social responses in a cooperatively breeding fish (2012, background): “Neolamprologus pulcher is a small freshwater fish endemic to Lake Tanganyika, Africa, that forms permanent social groups containing a single dominant breeding pair and several (1e20) adult subordinate helpers (Taborsky & Limberger 1981; Balshine-Earn et al. 1998; Balshine et al. 2001; Heg et al. 200”
• Network structure is related to social conflict in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, background): “This species is endemic to Lake Tanganyika, Eastern Africa, and forms permanent socials groups composed of a single dominant breeding pair, and 1e20 male and female subordinate helpers (Taborsky 1984, 1985; Balshine et al. 2001; Heg et al. 2005).”
• Mirror, mirror on the wall: the predictive value of mirror tests for measuring aggression in fish (2014, background): “2005, 2008), each consisting of breeding groups of different sizes (2–25 individuals/group, Taborsky and Limberger 1981; Balshine et al. 2001; Heg et al. 2005).”
• Context-dependent impacts of anthropogenic noise on individual and social behaviour in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, background): “They are found in groups consisting of a dominant pair with up to 14 subordinates of different sizes and sex (Balshine et al. 2001; Heg et al. 2005).”
• Extended safe havens and between-group dispersal of helpers in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2005, background): “Furthermore, since many aspects of group composition are positively correlated (e.g., group size, territory size, breeder male size, breeder female size, largest helper size) (Balshine et al., 2001; Heg et al., 2005 ), further experiments should test whether helpers adjust their visiting and disper”

• Rules of engagement for resource contests in a social fish (2011, background): “Neolamprologus pulcher live in social groups consisting of a single breeding pair and on average five to seven subordinate helpers at the nest that form a size-based linear dominance hierarchy (Balshine-Earn et al. 1998; Balshine et al. 2001; Heg et al. 2005; Fitzpatrick et al. 2008).”
