Dissolved organic carbon and unimodal variation in sexual signal coloration in mosquitofish: a role for light limitation?

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 12 Apr 2017

Giery Sean T, Layman Craig A

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection plays an important role in the evolution of sexual communication systems. Here, we assess the effect of two well-known selection agents, transmission environment and predation, on interpopulation variation in sexual signals. Our model system is a series of 21 populations of Bahamian mosquitofish subjected to independent variation in optical conditions and predation risk. We show that optically...
