Variation of female preference for male coloration in the eastern mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki.

Behavior genetics - 1 May 2000

Bisazza A, Pilastro A

Abstract excerpt

The preference for melanistic males was studied in two populations of eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki, Pisces: Poeciliidae), one from Florida and one from northern Italy. Melanism in the eastern mosquitofish is a Y--linked character, expressed in males only. Melanistic males have black spots varying in size and number. In the Florida population, melanistic males are common, whereas in the Italian...
