Why do some African cichlid fish, 𝘈𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪, consume their own eggs and baby fish? 🐟
@LSU_BioSci's Karen Maruska and @LSU_MNS's Prosanta Chakrabarty share their thoughts on a new study that explores this phenomenon.

Thus, dominant A. burtoni males use multimodal visual–acoustic courtship signals to provide non-redundant signals to receptive females, and females process visual–acoustic unimodal and multimodal courtship stimuli differently in the brain to make appropriate mating decisions.
