Brain size evolution: how fish pay for being smart.

Karin Isler1.   

Abstract

An artificial selection experiment demonstrates that large-brained guppies learn better, but produce less offspring and have smaller guts. A close link between brain size and fertility suggests that energetic trade-offs play an important role in brain size evolution.
