Dietary composition of Gambusia affinis (Family Poeciliidae) populations in the northern Waikato region of New Zealand
Invertebrates were collected and identified from the stomach contents of eight mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) populations in the northern Waikato region of New Zealand at 3-month intervals from December 1994 to September 1995. To investigate temporal and spatial patterns in dietary composition a novel analysis programme was created that used Gower's similarity coefficient. The analysis found d...
متن کاملEcological speciation in Gambusia fishes.
Although theory indicates that natural selection can facilitate speciation as a by-product, demonstrating ongoing speciation via this by-product mechanism in nature has proven difficult. We examined morphological, molecular, and behavioral data to investigate ecology's role in incipient speciation for a post-Pleistocene radiation of Bahamas mosquitofish (Gambusia hubbsi) inhabiting blue holes. ...
متن کاملPredation, food limitation, phenotypic plasticity and life-history variation in Gambusia hubbsi.
Langerhans et al. (2007) present molecular data, morphological variation of both males and females, and female mate preferences as evidence that ecological speciation, mediated by differences in exposure to predation by piscivores (Gobiomorus dormitor as well other piscivorous fish), occurred among populations of Gambusia hubbsi occupying blue holes on Andros, Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Their...
متن کاملPredator-driven phenotypic diversification in Gambusia affinis.
Predation is heterogeneously distributed across space and time, and is presumed to represent a major source of evolutionary diversification. In fishes, fast-starts--sudden, high-energy swimming bursts--are often important in avoiding capture during a predator strike. Thus, in the presence of predators, we might expect evolution of morphological features that facilitate increased fast-start spee...
