What do orange spots reveal about male (and female) guppies? A test using correlated responses to selection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2021

Abstract excerpt

Female preferences for male ornamental traits can arise from indirect benefits, such as increased attractiveness or better viability of progeny, but empirical evidence for such benefits is inconsistent. Artificial selection offers a powerful way to investigate indirect effects of male ornaments. Here, we selected for the area of orange spots on male guppies, a trait subject to female preferences in our...
