Variation in female mate choice within guppy populations: population divergence, multiple ornaments and the maintenance of polymorphism.

Genetica - 1 Nov 2002

Brooks Robert

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary significance of variation in mate choice behaviour is currently a subject of some debate and considerable empirical study. Here, I review recent work on variation within and among guppy (Poecilia reticulata) populations in female mate choice and mating preferences. Empirical results demonstrate that there is substantial variation within and among populations in female responsiveness and...
