Male fish deceive competitors about mating preferencesMartin Plath
Unit of Animal Ecology, Institute of Biochemistry and Biology, University of Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany
Curr Biol 18:1138-41. 2008..Deception by the choosing male may be an adaptation to avoid sperm competition, because surrounding males may use public information and copy the focal male's mate choice...
Mate choice and the Amazon molly: how sexuality and unisexuality can coexistIngo Schlupp
Department of Zoology, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA
J Hered 101:S55-61. 2010....
Locally adapted fish populations maintain small-scale genetic differentiation despite perturbation by a catastrophic flood eventMartin Plath
Institute of Biochemistry and Biology, Unit of Evolutionary Biology Systematic Zoology, University of Potsdam, Karl Liebknecht Str 24 25, D 14476 Potsdam, Germany
BMC Evol Biol 10:256. 2010....
Male mate choice and sperm allocation in a sexual/asexual mating complex of Poecilia (Poeciliidae, Teleostei)I Schlupp
Biozentrum Grindel, Martin Luther King Platz 3, Universitat Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
Biol Lett 1:169-71. 2005..P. mexicana males preferred to mate with, and transferred more sperm to conspecific females. However, if males mated with P. formosa, sperm was readily transferred. This underscores the importance of male choice in this system...
Amazon molliesIngo Schlupp
Department of Zoology, University of Oklahoma, 730 Van Vleet Oval, Norman, OK 73019, USA
Curr Biol 17:R536-7. 2007
Speciation in caves: experimental evidence that permanent darkness promotes reproductive isolationRüdiger Riesch
Department of Zoology, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA
Biol Lett 7:909-12. 2011..This experimental evidence for strong selection by permanent darkness on non-adapted surface-dwelling animals adds depth to our understanding of the selective forces establishing and maintaining reproductive isolation in cave faunas...
Toxic hydrogen sulfide and dark caves: life-history adaptations in a livebearing fish (Poecilia mexicana, Poeciliidae)Rüdiger Riesch
Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Department of Zoology, University of Oklahoma, 730 Van Vleet Oval, Norman, Oklahoma 73019, USA
Ecology 91:1494-505. 2010....
Convergent life-history shifts: toxic environments result in big babies in two clades of poeciliidsRüdiger Riesch
Department of Zoology, Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Oklahoma, 730 Van Vleet Oval, Norman, OK 73019, USA
Naturwissenschaften 97:133-41. 2010..We discuss the adaptive significance of large offspring size in toxic environments and propose that divergent life-history evolution may promote further ecological divergence through isolation by adaptation...
Life on the edge: hydrogen sulfide and the fish communities of a Mexican cave and surrounding watersMichael Tobler
Zoologisches Institut, Universitat Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Extremophiles 10:577-85. 2006..We discuss that P. mexicana is one of the few extremophile vertebrates. Our study supports the idea that extreme habitats lead to an impoverished species diversity...
Using video playback to study the effect of an audience on male mating behavior in the Sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna)A M makowicz
Department of Zoology, University of Oklahoma, 730 Van Vleet Oval, Norman, OK 73019, USA
Behav Processes 85:36-41. 2010..e., video treatment). Focal female aggression towards the partner female increased with the size of the audience male. The present study shows that an audience male has multiple interacting influences on both male and female behavior...
Female sperm limitation in natural populations of a sexual/asexual mating complex (Poecilia latipinna, Poecilia formosa)Rüdiger Riesch
Department of Zoology, University of Oklahoma, 730 Van Vleet Oval, Norman, OK 73019, USA
Biol Lett 4:266-9. 2008..In addition, among those females that had sperm, sexuals had more sperm than asexuals. Our results hint at a role for male mate choice as a stabilizing factor in such systems...
Survival in an extreme habitat: the roles of behaviour and energy limitationMartin Plath
Unit of Evolutionary Biology and Systematic Zoology, Institute of Biochemistry and Biology, University of Potsdam, Karl Liebknecht Strasse 24 25, Potsdam, Germany
Naturwissenschaften 94:991-6. 2007..mexicana was low even at comparatively low H(2)S concentrations. Furthermore, we show that food limitation affects the survival of P. mexicana pointing to energetically costly physiological adaptations to detoxify H(2)S...
Does divergence in female mate choice affect male size distributions in two cave fish populations?Michael Tobler
Department of Biology, Texas A and M University, 2258 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843 2258, USA
Biol Lett 4:452-4. 2008..Our results suggest that population differences in the potential for sexual selection may affect male trait variation...
Stable inheritance of host species-derived microchromosomes in the gynogenetic fish Poecilia formosaIndrajit Nanda
Universitat Wurzburg, Institut fur Humangenetik, Biozentrum, D 97074 Wurzburg, Germany
Genetics 177:917-26. 2007..formosa could increase the genetic diversity of the clonal lineage in this ameiotic organism and to some degree counteract the genomic decay that is supposed to be connected with the lack of recombination...
Parasites in sexual and asexual mollies (Poecilia, Poeciliidae, Teleostei): a case for the Red Queen?Michael Tobler
Zoologisches Institut, Universitat Zurich, Winterthurerstr 190, Zurich, Switzerland
Biol Lett 1:166-8. 2005..We tested this prediction using four populations of the sexual fish species Poecilia latipinna and its asexual relative Poecilia formosa. Contrary to expectation, no differences in parasite load could be detected between the two species...
Choosy males from the underground: male mating preferences in surface- and cave-dwelling Atlantic mollies (Poecilia mexicana)Martin Plath
Unit of Evolutionary Biology and Systematic Zoology, Institute for Biochemistry and Biology, University of Potsdam, Karl Liebknecht Str 24 25, 14476 Potsdam, Germany
Naturwissenschaften 93:103-9. 2006..We discuss the evolution of nonvisual male mate choice in the context of changed environmental conditions, namely the absence of light, hypoxia, and toxic hydrogen sulfide in the cave...
