The pervasive effects of lighting environments on sensory drive in bluefin killifish: an investigation into male/male competition, female choice, and predation
Abstract:Sensory drive predicts that the conditions under which signaling takes place have large effects on signals, sensory systems, and behavior. The coupling of an ecological genetics approach with sensory drive has been fruitful. An ecological genetics approach compares populations that experience different environments and asks whether population differences are adaptive and are the result of genetic and/or environmental variation. The multi-faceted effects of signaling environments are well-exemplified by the blu… Show more
“…There was also some evidence that female mating preferences differed among populations as well. Mitchem et al. (2018) presented three new studies showing that 1) predation risk of different colour morphs likely varies due to lighting environment, 2) the outcome of male/male competition varies due to lighting environment, but 3) unlike previous studies, female mate choice did not vary due to lighting environments.…”

“…Such patterns can be generated by local adaptation, adaptive phenotypic plasticity, or a combination of the two. Echoing the approach of Cummings and Endler (2018) is the contribution from Mitchem et al.
