Morphology, performance, fitness: functional insight into a post-Pleistocene radiation of mosquitofish.

Biology letters - 23 Aug 2009

Langerhans R Brian

Abstract excerpt

Bahamas mosquitofish (Gambusia hubbsi) colonized blue holes during the past approximately 15 000 years and exhibit relatively larger caudal regions in blue holes that contain piscivorous fish. It is hypothesized that larger caudal regions enhance fast-start escape performance and thus reflect an adaptation for avoiding predation. Here I test this hypothesis using a three-pronged, experimental approach. First, G....
