| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book explores the guppy's unique contribution to evolutionary ecology. Anne Magurran's account of the evolutionary ecology of the guppy integrates historical breakthroughs with new research in this fast-moving field. She reveals how guppies provided some of the first evidence of sperm competition and sexual selection, and how they continue to inform scientific thought on mating systems and cryptic choice. The consequences of variation in predation risk - as well as a host of other biotic and abiotic factors - are described and evaluated at all life stages from conception to death."--Jacket.
