because it is hypothesized that liver mass reflects status-dependent differences in energy expenditure, but not energy storage or energy acquisition. Dominants perform more energetically costly behaviors (e.g. social policing and care) compared with subordinates, supporting the notion that energy expenditure drives liver investment. Dominants in large groups with many subordinates to monitor and dominants that own multiple territories with a large area to patrol tend to have smaller livers. Subordinates do not appear to use the liver as a strategic energy storage organ. Although subordinates feed more frequently than dominants, a negative correlation is found between feeding rates and liver size. This provides evidence that liver investment patterns are linked to status-driven differences in energy expenditure but not energy intake or storage.
586:, specifically the defense of their young. Dominant female breeders perform the most care and also display the highest levels of plasma testosterone compared to other individuals within the social group. Dominant male breeders provide a similar amount of care as the subordinate helpers, but breeding males also have the highest levels of 11-ketotestosterone, an important fish androgen. Breeders have higher levels of both androgens compared to helpers, but no matter what the sex or status of the fish, there is a weak but significant positive correlation between testosterone levels and the frequency of care. Androgens may promote the defense of young, which contradicts the commonly reported trade-off between androgen levels and degree of parental care (androgen levels and degree of parental care are usually negatively correlated).

higher plasma levels of 11-ketotestosterone than newly subordinate males, but both types of males have similar testosterone levels. The ratio of 11-ketotestosterone to testosterone, which demonstrates the physiological importance of testosterone conversion to 11-ketotestosterone, has been shown to be positively correlated with submissive behavior in female winners and weakly positively correlated with aggressive behavior in male winners. Different androgens play equivalent roles in female versus male dominance establishment, and relative levels of 11-ketotestosterone and testosterone are implicated in female dominance behavior and perhaps the behavior of both sexes.
492:. In one study, 71% of male vacancies were filled by joiners. Joiners are incoming fish that are not originally part of the group. However, only 15% of female vacancies were filled. Helpers increase their frequency of cooperative behavior following the removal of a female breeder but not after the removal of a male breeder. This suggests that female breeder vacancies are typically filled by subordinate helpers who inherit from within the group, and male breeder vacancies are commonly filled by joining individuals, who are either existing breeders or helpers from other groups.

genetic quality and resources. Males holding only one territory may provide their mates with significant assets but may not be able to outcompete neighbors for additional breeding positions because of their smaller body size and possibly higher parasite load. The lack of differences between monogamous and polygynous groups in terms of offspring survival, a measure of reproductive success, suggests that there may be few, if any, fitness consequences of polygynous pairing for females.

524:, while pair females shared the investment in territory maintenance and direct brood care. There is high energy expenditure for submissive behavior in daffodil cichlids, which might be an indicator of submissive behavior being a reliable signal among cichlids. The considerable energy expenditure involved in territory defense suggests that these costs, in addition to risk, are probably taken into account when doing cost-benefit analyses.

The sizes of the breeder male, breeder female, and the largest helper within a group do not influence the parameters of the long-term field study, and also do not correlate with the sizes of these categories of fish after one year. This suggests that group size is the critical variable determining the success of the individuals in the group, rather than body size or fighting ability of group members.

Daffodil cichlids inhabit rocky coastlines and swim in large schools that often consist of hundreds of fish. When breeding, however, they will form monogamous pairs and spawn in caves. They are found in waters at depths of 32 feet (10 m) or deeper. They feed on swarms of plankton drifting in the lake

Helpers in larger groups also feed more frequently but do not have lower workloads. Large groups are also more likely to contain a breeding male and female

Group size positively influences the survival of group members.
