Convergent life-history shifts: toxic environments result in big babies in two clades of poeciliids.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Feb 2010

Riesch Rüdiger, Plath Martin, García de León Francisco J, Schlupp Ingo

Abstract excerpt

The majority of studies on ecological speciation in animals have investigated the divergence caused by biotic factors like divergent food sources or predatory regimes. Here, we examined a system where ecological speciation can clearly be ascribed to abiotic environmental gradients of naturally occurring toxic hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S). In southern Mexico, two genera of livebearing fishes (Poeciliidae: Poecilia and...
