author keywords: bahamas mosquitofish; poeciliidae; predation risk; predator-prey interactions; resource availability; sexual dimorphism; stress physiology; stress response; trade-offs; ventilation frequency
MeSH headings : Animals; Cyprinodontiformes; Female; Humans; Phenotype; Predatory Behavior; Sex Characteristics
TL;DR: Variation in stress reactivity in a post‐Pleistocene radiation of live‐bearing fish is explored to highlight how energetic trade‐offs may mould the evolution of the vertebrate stress response under varying predation risk and resource availability. (via Semantic Scholar)
