Intrasexual competition facilitates the evolution of alternative mating strategies in a colour polymorphic fish.

BMC evolutionary biology - 23 Dec 2010

Hurtado-Gonzales Jorge L, Uy J Albert C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Intense competition for access to females can lead to males exploiting different components of sexual selection, and result in the evolution of alternative mating strategies (AMSs). Males of Poecilia parae, a colour polymorphic fish, exhibit five distinct phenotypes: drab-coloured (immaculata), striped (parae), structural-coloured (blue) and carotenoid-based red and yellow morphs.
