Summary
We present a model and an experimental test for a nonshareable parental-investment behavior (fanning of eggs) using parental male bluegill sunfish. The model predicts that as brood size increases, nonshareable investment into the brood should increase if a parent is to maximize its remaining lifetime reproductive success.
Methodology
Nests were located, two treatments (control or manipulated), scuba divers removed half of each brood nest
