Social networks in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata).
Social network theory is used to elicit details of the social structure of a population of free-ranging guppies, Poecilia reticulata. They were found to have a complex and highly structured social network, which exhibited characteristics consistent with the 'small world' phenomenon. Stable partner associations between individuals were observed, a finding that fulfils the basic prerequisite for ...
متن کاملIntra-retinal variation of opsin gene expression in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata).
Although behavioural experiments demonstrate that colouration influences mate choice in many species, a complete understanding of this form of signalling requires information about colour vision in the species under investigation. The guppy (Poecilia reticulata) has become a model species for the study of colour-based sexual selection. To investigate the role of opsin gene duplication and diver...
متن کاملSex determination methods in guppy (Poecilia reticulat)
Guppy, Poecilia reticulate, is a member of the Poecilidae family. This species is viviparous and one of the most popular ornamental fish in the world, whose phenotype is usually determined during the last ten days of pregnancy. However, most differentiation and development of secondary sexual traits are formed during adolescence, i.e. about 16 weeks after birth. These secondary characteristics ...
متن کاملAerial Jumping in the Trinidadian Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Many fishes are able to jump out of the water and launch themselves into the air. Such behavior has been connected with prey capture, migration and predator avoidance. We found that jumping behavior of the guppy Poecilia reticulata is not associated with any of the above. The fish jump spontaneously, without being triggered by overt sensory cues, is not migratory and does not attempt to capture...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying shoal composition in the Trinidadian guppy, Poecilia reticulata
Free-ranging groups are frequently assorted by phenotypic characters. However, very little is known about the underlying processes that determine this structuring. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the phenotypic composition of shoals of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) in a high-predation stream in Trinidad’s Northern Mountain Range. We collected 57 entire wild shoals, which...
