The social and ecological costs of an 'over-extended' phenotype.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 13 Jan 2016

Jordan Lyndon Alexander, Maguire Sean M, Hofmann Hans A, Kohda Masanori

Abstract excerpt

Extended phenotypes offer a unique opportunity to experimentally manipulate and identify sources of selection acting on traits under natural conditions. The social cichlid fish Neolamprologus multifasciatus builds nests by digging up aquatic snail shells, creating an extended sexual phenotype that is highly amenable to experimental manipulation through addition of extra shells. Here, we find sources of both...
