Excited to share our (w/ @DardenSafi & Tim Fawcett) paper on guppy cooperation out today in @RSocPublishing Proc B! We tested the effect of group size on predator inspection and found (unexpectedly) that individuals in bigger groups cooperated more! 🐟 doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.07…

Male but not female killer whales place significant reproductive costs on mothers. This burden is not due to costs of lactation and does not reduce as sons get older. More brilliant life-history work by @CetaceanMike @DarrenPCroft @CWROrcas and others.
