Trade‐off between steady and unsteady swimming underlies predator‐driven divergence in Gambusia affinis

RB Langerhans - Journal of evolutionary biology, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Differences in predation intensity experienced by organisms can lead to divergent natural
selection, driving evolutionary change. Western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) exhibit …

Connecting behaviour and performance: the evolution of biting behaviour and bite performance in bats

SE Santana, ER Dumont - Journal of evolutionary biology, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Variation in behaviour, performance and ecology are traditionally associated with variation
in morphology. A neglected part of this ecomorphological paradigm is the interaction …

Shared and unique features of morphological differentiation between predator regimes in Gambusia caymanensis

RB Langerhans, AM Makowicz - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2009 - academic.oup.com
When multiple groups of organisms experience similar environmental gradients, their
patterns of differentiation might exhibit both shared and unique features. Here, we …

Naturally occurring variation in tadpole morphology and performance linked to predator regime

JB Johnson, D Saenz, CK Adams… - Ecology and …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Divergent natural selection drives a considerable amount of the phenotypic and genetic
variation observed in natural populations. For example, variation in the predator community …

Biomarkers of waterborne copper exposure in the guppy Poecilia vivipara acclimated to salt water

tissues (liver, gills, muscle and erythrocytes) of the estuarine guppy Poecilia vivipara …

Ontogeny and sex alter the effect of predation on body shape in a livebearing fish: sexual dimorphism, parallelism, and costs of reproduction

EMA Hassell, PJ Meyers, EJ Billman… - Ecology and …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Predation can cause morphological divergence among populations, while ontogeny and sex
often determine much of morphological diversity among individuals. We used geometric …

Predicting evolution with generalized models of divergent selection: a case study with poeciliid fish

RB Langerhans - Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Over the past century and half since the process of natural selection was first described, one
enduring question has captivated many,“how predictable is evolution?” Because natural …
