The benefit of evolving a larger brain: big-brained guppies perform better in a cognitive task()
• We previously selected for large and small brain size in guppies. • Large-brained females outperformed small-brained females in a learning task. • Healy and Rowe challenged our interpretations of larger brains = better learning. • Here we argue why we think they are mistaken.
