Conformist learning in nine-spined sticklebacks' foraging decisions.
Theoretical analyses have reported that in most circumstances where natural selection favours reliance on social learning, conformity (positive frequency-dependent social learning) is also favoured. These findings suggest that much animal social learning should involve a copy-the-majority strategy, yet there is currently surprisingly little evidence for conformist learning among animals. Here, ...
متن کاملParasites and size-assortative schooling in three-spined sticklebacks
Recent field studies carried out in lacustrine environments have suggested that fish schools may be assorted with respect to parasite infections, but the generality and strength of parasite-assortative schooling in fish is unclear. In this study, data are presented on the body size and externally visible macroparasite load of 366 individual three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus L. (G...
متن کاملUV wavelengths affect female mate choice in three-spined sticklebacks
Recent behavioural studies on fish have emphasized the role of ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths in mate choice. We performed female mate choice experiments, focusing on the UV wavelength range, with the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, a species in which the role of visually guided behaviour in the human-visible wavelength range (400–700 nm) has been well studied. Ripe female stick...
متن کاملQuantitative trait locus analysis of body shape divergence in nine-spined sticklebacks based on high-density SNP-panel
Heritable phenotypic differences between populations, caused by the selective effects of distinct environmental conditions, are of commonplace occurrence in nature. However, the actual genomic targets of this kind of selection are still poorly understood. We conducted a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping study to identify genomic regions responsible for morphometric differentiation between ...
متن کاملThe Genetics of Behaviour and Other Adaptive Traits in Nine-spined Sticklebacks (pungitius Pungitius)
One of the main goals in current evolutionary biology research is to identify genes behind adaptive phenotypic variations. The advances in genomic technologies have made it possible to identify genetic loci behind these variations, also concerning non-model species. This thesis investigates the genetics of the behaviour and other adaptive traits of the nine-spined stickleback (Pungitius pungiti...
