Hormonal control of brood care and social status in a cichlid fish with brood care helpers.

We studied the role of steroid hormones for parental and alloparental brood care and social status in a cooperatively breeding fish. We measured excretion levels of testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone in males, estradiol-17beta in females and cortisol in both sexes at different stages of the breeding cycle, and compared these values to data measured in non-reproductive fish. Brood care behavio...

Social Decision-making in a Group Living Cichlid Fish Social Decision-making in a Group Living Cichlid Fish

Many animals fight to win resources, repel competitors or establish dominance in a social group. Mutualassessment of fighting ability, where competitors gather and compare information about their opponent’s as well as their own fighting ability has been the dominant theoretical framework for understanding decision-making during fights. However, self-assessment, where each individual has a cost ...

Social status differences regulate the serotonergic system of a cichlid fish, Astatotilapia burtoni.

Serotonin (5-HT) inhibits aggression and modulates aspects of sexual behaviour in many species, but the mechanisms responsible are not well understood. Here, we exploited the social dominance hierarchy of Astatotilapia burtoni to understand the role of the serotonergic system in long-term maintenance of social status. We identified three populations of 5-HT cells in dorsal and ventral periventr...

Social familiarity modulates personality trait in a cichlid fish.

Personality traits, such as exploration-avoidance, are expected to be adaptive in a given context (e.g. low-risk environment) but to be maladaptive in others (e.g. high-risk environment). Therefore, it is expected that personality traits are flexible and respond to environmental fluctuations, given that consistency across different contexts is maintained, so that the relative individual respons...

Frequency-dependent social dominance in a color polymorphic cichlid fish.

A mechanism commonly suggested to explain the persistence of color polymorphisms in animals is negative frequency-dependent selection. It could result from a social dominance advantage to rare morphs. We tested for this in males of red and blue color morphs of the Lake Victoria cichlid, Pundamilia. Earlier work has shown that males preferentially attack the males of their own morph, while red m...
