Sex Recognition in Surfaceand Cave Dwelling Male Atlanticmollies Poecilia Mexicana
ŽAnimals colonizing lightless subterranean habitats can no longer rely on visual signals to find mating partners. In the present study, we investigated the ability of males to recognize females in two surface and a cave dwelling population of a livebearing fish, Poecilia mexicana. In surface populations males discriminated between sexes with visual plus non-visual cues available and with visual...
متن کاملSpeciation in caves: experimental evidence that permanent darkness promotes reproductive isolation.
Divergent selection through biotic factors like predation or parasitism can promote reproductive isolation even in the absence of geographical barriers. On the other hand, evidence for a role of adaptation to abiotic factors during ecological speciation in animals is scant. In particular, the role played by perpetual darkness in establishing reproductive isolation in cave animals (troglobites) ...
متن کاملSex-specific local life-history adaptation in surface- and cave-dwelling Atlantic mollies (Poecilia mexicana)
Cavefishes have long been used as model organisms showcasing adaptive diversification, but does adaptation to caves also facilitate the evolution of reproductive isolation from surface ancestors? We raised offspring of wild-caught surface- and cave-dwelling ecotypes of the neotropical fish Poecilia mexicana to sexual maturity in a 12-month common garden experiment. Fish were raised under one of...
متن کاملOtolith morphology and hearing abilities in cave- and surface-dwelling ecotypes of the Atlantic molly, Poecilia mexicana (Teleostei: Poeciliidae)
Cave fish have rarely been investigated with regard to their inner ear morphology, hearing abilities, and acoustic communication. Based on a previous study that revealed morphological differences in the saccular otolith between a cave and two surface populations of Poecilia mexicana, we checked for additional differences in utricular and lagenar otoliths and tested whether different populations...
متن کاملSize-dependent male mating behaviour in the Cave molly, Poecilia mexicana (Poeciliidae, Teleostei)
We investigated male mating behaviour in a population of Poecilia mexicana from a Mexican limestone cave. A previous study has shown that unlike surface-dwelling P. mexicana, Cave molly males show surprisingly low frequencies of sexual behaviour when together with a female. In surface-living mollies, small males are typically more sexually active than large ones. By contrast, the frequency of s...
