Sex differences in cognitive performance and style across domains in mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis)
Wallace K, Rausch R, Ramsey M, Cummings M
Anim Cogn
. 2020 Mar;
23(4):655-669.
PMID: 32166514
Given that the sexes often differ in their ecological and sexual selection pressures, sex differences in cognitive properties are likely. While research on sexually dimorphic cognition often focuses on performance,...

Biol Lett
. 2019 Apr;
15(1):20180693.
PMID: 30958208
Choice of social group can affect the likelihood of survivorship and reproduction for social species. By joining larger social groups-shoals-small freshwater fish like the mosquitofish Gambusia affinis can reduce predation...

PMID: 29299233
Sexual signals are important for intraspecific communication and mate selection, but their evolution may be driven by both natural and sexual selection, and stochastic processes. Strawberry poison frogs () show...

PMID: 29022119
The relationship between an individual's cognitive abilities and other behavioural attributes is complex, yet critical to understanding how individual differences in cognition arise. Here we use western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis,...
