The Evolution of the Placenta Drives a Shift in Sexual Selection in Livebearing Fish

Mating Preferences of Amazon Mollies (Poecilia Formosa) in Multi-Host Populations
Behaviour 149 (2012) 233–249 brill.nl/beh Mating preferences of Amazon mollies (Poecilia formosa) in multi-host populations Brandon L. Joachim ∗ and Ingo Schlupp Department of Zoology, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA *Corresponding author’s e-mail address: [email protected] Accepted 6 March 2012 Abstract Gynogenesis is a peculiar mode of clonal reproduction in which eggs need to be pseudo-fertilized by sperm, but the male genes are not passed on to the offspring. One mating system in which gynogenesis is found involves a unisexual hybrid, the Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa), which typically uses males of its two parental species as sperm donors. Most gynogenetic lineages do not sexually parasitize males that were not involved in their hybrid origin and although some gynogens have the ability to utilize males from additional species, they rarely occur in sympatry with more than one sperm host. A few populations of the Amazon molly, however, do occur syntopically with more than one host species, raising the question of whether specific preferences have evolved in P. formosa and whether Amazon mollies can now act like Red Queens, driving the evolution of discrimination abilities in the host species. Near Ciudad Mante, Mexico, the critically endangered Tamesí molly (P. latipunctata) occurs in exclusive sympatry with Amazon mollies and one of P. formosa’s parental species, the Atlantic molly (P. mexicana). In this study we tested the initial and post-exposure preference of allopatric and sympatric P. formosa (with regards to P. latipunctata) between P. latipunctata and P. mexicana males. We predicted that P. -

Poecilia Picta, a Close Relative to the Guppy, Exhibits Red Male Coloration Polymorphism: a System for Phylogenetic Comparisons
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 Poecilia picta, a close relative to the guppy, exhibits red male coloration polymorphism: a system for phylogenetic comparisons Lindholm, Anna K ; Sandkam, Ben ; Pohl, Kristina ; Breden, Felix Abstract: Studies on the evolution of female preference and male color polymorphism frequently focus on single species since traits and preferences are thought to co-evolve. The guppy, Poecilia reticulata, has long been a premier model for such studies because female preferences and orange coloration are well known to covary, especially in upstream/downstream pairs of populations. However, focused single species studies lack the explanatory power of the comparative method, which requires detailed knowledge of multiple species with known evolutionary relationships. Here we describe a red color polymorphism in Poecilia picta, a close relative to guppies. We show that this polymorphism is restricted to males and is maintained in natural populations of mainland South America. Using tests of female preference we show female P. picta are not more attracted to red males, despite preferences for red/orange in closely related species, such as P. reticulata and P. parae. Male color patterns in these closely related species are different from P. picta in that they occur in discrete patches and are frequently Y chromosome-linked. P. reticulata have an almost infinite number of male patterns, while P. parae males occur in discrete morphs. We show the red male polymorphism in P. picta extends continuously throughout the body and is not a Y-linked trait despite the theoretical prediction that sexually-selected characters should often be linked to the heterogametic sex chromosome. -

Specimens in aquaria may live more than 10 years. The size range for most of the adult species in the Loricariid family is 30–50 cm, but individuals have been observed to reach 70 cm. Pterygoplicthys spp. start reproducing at approximately 25 cm (Mendoza et al, 2009). Habitat Description Pterygoplichthys spp. can be found in a wide variety of habitats, ranging from relatively cool, fast- flowing and oxygen-rich highland streams to slow-flowing, warm lowland rivers and stagnant pools poor in oxygen. They are tropical fish and populations are typically limited only by their lower lethal temperature which has been found to be about 8.8-11°C in some species (Gestring, 2006). They can thrive in a range of acidic to alkaline waters in a range of about (pH 5.5.0 to 8.0) (Mendoza et al., 2009). They are often found in soft waters, but can adapt very quickly to hard waters.
