Sigal Balshine
- studied mouth brooding cichlids in Israel
- 2 treatments, mom keeps eggs vs eggs taken away
- found that the ones that had eggs removed had a higher egg # than the ones that kept their eggs
- mom's survival did not appear to be affected, but they were in a hatchery where survival is maximized
