Body size and allometric shape variation in the molly Poecilia vivipara along a gradient of salinity and predation.

BMC evolutionary biology - 4 Dec 2014

Araújo Márcio S, Perez S Ivan, Magazoni Maria Julia C, Petry Ana C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Phenotypic diversity among populations may result from divergent natural selection acting directly on traits or via correlated responses to changes in other traits. One of the most frequent patterns of correlated response is the proportional change in the dimensions of anatomical traits associated with changes in growth or absolute size, known as allometry. Livebearing fishes subject to predation...
