Rapid evolution of escape ability in Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2002

O'Steen Shyril, Cullum Alistair J, Bennett Albert F

Abstract excerpt

Predators are widely assumed to create selection that shapes the evolution of prey escape abilities. However, this assumption is difficult to test directly due to the challenge of recording both predation and its evolutionary consequences in the wild. We examined these events by studying natural and experimental populations of Trinidadian guppies, Poecilia reticulata, which occur in distinct high-predation and...
