• Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “…breeders than small helpers (Dierkes et al. 2005) are suggested to pay to be allowed to stay in the territory by helping (Taborsky 1985; Balshine-Earn et al. 1998; Bergmüller et al. 2005a) and they do not need to increase their amount of help when living in smaller groups (Brouwer et al. 2005).”
• Mothers adjust egg size to helper number in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2007, methodology): “Helpers are less likely to disperse successfully when neighboring groups are large (Bergmüller et al. 2005).”
• Rules of engagement for resource contests in a social fish (2011, background): “There is considerable competition for suitable shelters (Taborsky 1984; Bergmüller et al. 2005), and limitations on shelter availability may be a causal factor in the evolution of group living and cooperative breeding (Emlen1982;Hatchwell &Komdeur 2000; Kokko&Ekman * Correspondence: A. R. Reddon,…”
• Social experience in early ontogeny has lasting effects on social skills in cooperatively breeding cichlids (2010, unknown): “…early social environment on social behaviour have been demonstrated in several vertebrates (e.g. fish, Moretz et al. 2007; birds, Adkins-Regan & Krakauer 2000; Bertin & Richard-Yris 2005; rodents, Bester-Meredith & Marler 2007; primates, Bastian et al. 2003; humans, reviewed in Meaney & Szyf 2005).”
• Large group size yields group stability in the cooperatively breeding cichlid Neolamprologus pulcher (2005, methodology): “Remaining group members might take the risk of staying in the diminished natal group: the largest helpers taking the breeding position (Balshine-Earn et al., 1998) and growing fast to breeder size (Taborsky, 1984; Heg et al., 2004a; Bergmüller et al., 2005a), assisted by the remaining helpers.”
