Diet color affects female preference for mate color in the guppy Poecilia reticulata
It has been argued that a preexisting sensory bias for food color influences female mate preference for male ornament color. However, the effect of...

Effects of the invasive fish Poecilia reticulata on the behavioral response of Daphnia pulex to the exotic submerged macrophyte Egeria densa
The high-elevation plateaus of the inter-Andean valleys are home to shallow lakes that have become eutrophic. These lakes share similarities with...

Does predation pressure alter the visual properties of prey? An assessment of the guppy Poecilia reticulata
Evolution of male-biased coloration in the guppy Poecilia reticulata is driven by sexual and natural selection. The colorful male ornaments are...

Predation impacts brain allometry in female guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
Cognitive and sensory abilities are vital in affecting survival under predation risk, leading to selection on brain anatomy. However, how exactly...

Detecting behavioural lateralisation in Poecilia reticulata is strongly dependent on experimental design
AbstractDespite the potential benefits gained from behavioural lateralisation, defined as the asymmetrical expression of cognitive functioning, this...

Sexual Behavior and Reproductive Success of Guppy Poecillia reticulata (Poeciliidae) at a Constant Temperature and in the Temperature Gradient Field
AbstractThe sexual behavior of males and the reproductive success of the guppy Poecilia reticulata were studied under experimental conditions in a...

Genetic basis of orange spot formation in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
BackgroundTo understand the evolutionary significance of female mate choice for colorful male ornamentation, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of...

Gill Transcriptome Analysis Revealed the Difference in Gene Expression Between Freshwater and Seawater Acclimated Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Guppy ( Poecilia reticulata ) can adapt to a wide range of salinity changes. To investigate the gene expression changes in the guppy exposed to...

Genetic and phenotypic diversification in a widespread fish, the Sailfin Molly (Poecilia latipinna)
Widespread species often experience significant environmental clines over the area they naturally occupy. We investigated a widespread livebearing...

Water turbidity–induced alterations in coloration and courtship behavior of male guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
Water turbidity deteriorates visibility and thereby may change the physiology and behavior of aquatic animals that rely on vision. In the guppy fish (

The experimental range extension of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) influences the metabolic activity of tropical streams
The ecological consequences of biological range extensions reflect the interplay between the functional characteristics of the newly arrived species...

The influence of visual illusion perception on numerosity estimation could be evolutionarily conserved: exploring the numerical Delboeuf illusion in humans (Homo sapiens) and fish (Poecilia reticulata)
Discriminating between different quantities is an essential ability in daily life that has been demonstrated in a variety of non-human vertebrates....

Trait–environment relationship of riverine fish assemblages across a human footprint mosaic
Environmental influences on species’ functional traits are important ecological issues to assess biodiversity. Relationships among fish abundance,...

Coastal freshwater stream fish fauna from a threatened estuarine lagoon complex in northeastern Brazil
Freshwater ecosystems play a vital role in sustaining human populations; however, these environments are increasingly subject to human interference,...

Role of thyroid hormones in color diversity of male guppies: experimental data on Endler’s guppy (Poecilia wingei)
Male guppies display an outstanding diversity of color patterns which is formed as a result of a complex interplay between sexual selection,...

Effect of isotocin on shoaling behaviour of the Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Pro-social effects of oxytocin and its homologues are well-documented in birds and mammals. However, in fishes, the effect of isotocin, the homologue...

Water Pollution Shifts the Soil and Fish Gut Microbiomes Increasing the Circulation of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Environment
The impact of anthropogenic activities on urban rivers is responsible for changing the diversity and composition of aquatic species and...

Parasitic fauna of farmed freshwater ornamental fish in the northwest of Iran
Ornamental fish farming is globally a key sector of aquaculture. The purpose of this study was to report on the parasitic fauna of ornamental fish...

Multiple environmental stressors affect predation pressure in a tropical freshwater system
Environmental change can alter predator-prey dynamics. However, studying predators in the context of co-occurring environmental stressors remains...

Characterizing the (co)variance of personality traits in female Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
A fundamental question in behavioural and evolutionary ecology is to what degree individual phenotypic traits are variable over time and across...
