“…Color is frequently a secondary sexual characteristic used to demonstrate fitness or aggression, as it signals better health (Ressel and Schall, 1989;Olson and Owens, 1998), higher reproductive performance (e.g., access to mates, Evans and Norris [1996]; sperm velocity, Janhunen et al [2009]), and better access to critical resources (Luchiari et al, 2007) in a large range of taxa. In the study species, J. edwardsii, size and morph were not indicative of any dominance hierarchy, and a previous study demonstrated that size and color did not influence survival in translocated SP J. edwardsii compared with resident LRs (Green and Gardner, 2009).…”
