Experimentally induced life-history evolution in a killifish in response to the introduction of guppies.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2011

Walsh Matthew R, Reznick David N

Abstract excerpt

Life-history theory predicts that increased predation on juvenile age/size-classes favors delayed maturation and decreased reproductive investment. Although this theory has received correlative support, experimental tests in nature are rare. In 1976 and 1981, guppies (Poecilia reticulata) were tr...
