Studies of female mate choice commonly use virgin females as test subjects, either to control
for the effects of mating or because virgin females are presumed to be more responsive to …

Although the majority of studies on mate choice focus on female mate choice, there is
growing recognition of the role of male mate choice too. Male mate choice is tightly linked to …

Most eucaryotic organisms classified as living in an extreme habitat are invertebrates. Here
we report of a fish living in a Mexican cave (Cueva del Azufre) that is rich in highly toxic H 2 …

Selection favours females that attend to reliable information about male health or genetic
quality. Male nutritional state can be an important indicator of mate quality since poor …

Life‐history traits are very sensitive to extreme environmental conditions, because resources
that need to be invested in somatic maintenance cannot be invested in reproduction. Here …

We investigated mechanisms of reproductive isolation in livebearing fishes (genus Poecilia)
inhabiting sulfidic and nonsulfidic habitats in three replicate river drainages. Although sulfide …

Extreme habitats challenge animals with highly adverse conditions, like extreme
temperatures or toxic substances. In this paper, we report of a fish (Poecilia mexicana) …

We investigated genetic differentiation and migration patterns in a small livebearing fish,
Poecilia mexicana, inhabiting a sulfidic Mexican limestone cave (Cueva del Azufre). We …

Background Foraging in groups offers animals a number of advantages, such as increasing
their likelihood of finding food or detecting and avoiding predators. In order for a group to …

Biomimetic robots (BRs) are becoming more common in behavioral research and, if they are
accepted as conspecifics, allow for new forms of experimental manipulations of social …
