The role of predation in variation in body shape in guppies Poecilia reticulata: a comparison of field and common garden phenotypes.

Journal of fish biology - 1 Oct 2009

Burns J G, Di Nardo P, Rodd F H

Abstract excerpt

The body shapes of both wild-caught and laboratory-reared male and female Trinidadian guppies Poecilia reticulata from two low-predation and two high-predation populations were studied, but predation regime did not seem to be the most important factor affecting body shape. Instead, complicated patterns of plasticity in body shape among populations and the sexes were found. In particular, populations differed in...
