Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: , a biparental cichlid that forms female-larger pairs , respond to conspecific intruders of either sex. When males were the larger individual in the pair, they have increased responses to male intruders compared to female intruders; whereas when females were the larger individual, they did not change their behavior. We suggest the pressures on both sexes are different based on the natural history of the species.
