Predicting ecological and phenotypic differentiation in the wild: a case of piscivorous fish in a fishless environment

2015-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Environmental variation drives ecological and phenotypic change. How predictable is differentiation in response to environmental change? Answering this question requires the development and testing of multifarious a priori predictions in natural systems. We employ this approach using Gobiomorus dormitor populations that have colonized inland blue holes differing in the availability of fish prey. We evaluated predi...
