Social Fish And Single Mothers: Brain Evolution In African Cichlids
Our results show that diet and parental care have had an important influence on total brain size. Moreover, by analyzing males and females separately, we show that females caring for offspring alone have larger brains than females sharing care with their partner.
Our results suggest that complex social interactions associated with diet and monoparental female care have favoured the evolution of larger brains.
