• survival with an asymmetrical brain: advantages and disadvantages of cerebral lateralization (2005, background): “Moreover, the evidence for a preferred side for copulatory attempts in Poeciliid fish (see Vallortigara & Bisazza 2002) may suggest another possible frequency-dependent advantage: given that females actively keep watch for unwanted copulatory attempts, if for the majority of males copulatory…”
• Laterality in the wild: preferential hemifield use during predatory and sexual behaviour in the black-winged stilt (2005, background): “However, there are recent signs of interest in this topic among ethologists and evolutionary biologists (Raymond et al. 1996; Rogers & Andrew 2002; Vallortigara & Bisazza 2002; Ghirlanda & Vallortigara 2004).”
• Individual differences in cerebral lateralization are associated with shy–bold variation in the convict cichlid (2009, unknown): “Despite the described advantages of possessing a lateralized brain, most species studied so far show substantial variation at the individual level in both the strength and direction of lateralization (Vallortigara & Bisazza 2002).”
• Does brain asymmetry allow efficient performance of simultaneous tasks (2006, background): “…to be a unique feature of the human brain, is now recognized to be ubiquitously present among vertebrates (reviewed in Andrew & Rogers 2002; Vallortigara & Bisazza 2002) and existing in other taxonomic groups too (octopods: Byrne et al. 2002; spiders: Ades & Ramires 2002; insects: Kells &…”
