Divergent evolution of male aggressive behaviour: another reproductive isolation barrier in extremophile poeciliid fishes? [PDF]

Int J Evol Biol, 2012
Reproductive isolation among locally adapted populations may arise when immigrants from foreign habitats are selected against via natural or (inter‐)sexual selection (female mate choice). We asked whether also intrasexual selection through male‐male competition could promote reproductive isolation among populations of poeciliid fishes that are locally ...

Gradient evolution of body colouration in surface- and cave-dwelling Poecilia mexicana and the role of phenotype-assortative female mate choice. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2013
Ecological speciation assumes reproductive isolation to be the product of ecologically based divergent selection. Beside natural selection, sexual selection via phenotype‐assortative mating is thought to promote reproductive isolation. Using the neotropical fish Poecilia mexicana from a system that has been described to undergo incipient ecological ...
