Predicting multifarious behavioural divergence in the wild

Heinen-Kay, J. L., Schmidt, D. A., Stafford, A. T., Costa, M. T., Peterson, M. N., Kern, E. M. A., & Langerhans, R. B. (2016, September 13). Animal Behaviour, Vol. 121, pp. 3–10.

By: J. Heinen-Kay n, D. Schmidt n, A. Stafford n, M. Costa n, M. Peterson n , E. Kern  n, R. Langerhans n 

Contributors: J. Heinen-Kay n, D. Schmidt n, A. Stafford n, M. Costa n, M. Peterson n , E. Kern  n, R. Langerhans n 

author keywords: activity; aggression; behavioural syndrome; boldness; exploration; personality; poeciliid fish; predation; sociability
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Reproduction; Amphibian and Reptile Biology; Fish Ecology and Management Studies
TL;DR: The results suggest that environmental variation, such as chronic predation risk, can lead to repeatable, and often predictable, changes in multifarious animal behaviours, and that various aspects of behaviour can diversify more or less independently of one another. (via Semantic Scholar)

A trade-off between natural and sexual selection underlies diversification of a sexual signal

Heinen-Kay, J. L., Morris, K. E., Ryan, N. A., Byerley, S. L., Venezia, R. E., Peterson, M. N., & Langerhans, R. B. (2014, December 24). Behavioral Ecology, Vol. 26, pp. 533–542.

author keywords: female mate choice; natural selection; Poeciliidae; predation; secondary sexual characters; sexual selection
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Reproduction; Plant and animal studies; Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
TL;DR: This study provides direct empirical evidence documenting a trade-off between natural and sexual selection in a colorful sexual signal by employing plastic fish models to directly examine conspicuity to predators and female preferences for dorsal-fin color. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 article

Human‐caused habitat fragmentation can drive rapid divergence of male genitalia

Heinen‐Kay, J. L., Noel, H. G., Layman, C. A., & Langerhans, R. B. (2014, October 15). Evolutionary Applications.

By: J. Heinen‐Kay n, H. Noel n, C. Layman  n & R. Langerhans n 

author keywords: anthropogenic environmental change; genital evolution; gonopodium; human-induced phenotypic change; natural selection; Poeciliidae; sexual selection
topics (OpenAlex): Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Wildlife Conservation and Criminology Analyses; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: It is found that genital shape and allometry consistently and repeatedly diverged in fragmented systems across all species and islands, demonstrating that human modifications to the environment can drive rapid and predictable divergence in male genitalia. (via Semantic Scholar)

EVOLUTION OF MALE COLORATION DURING A POST-PLEISTOCENE RADIATION OF BAHAMAS MOSQUITOFISH (GAMBUSIA HUBBSI)

Martin, R. A., Riesch, R., Heinen-Kay, J. L., & Langerhans, R. B. (2013, October 11). Evolution, Vol. 68, pp. 397–411.

By: R. Martin n, R. Riesch n, J. Heinen-Kay n & R. Langerhans n 

author keywords: Animal communication; condition dependence; indicator traits; predation; sensory drive; sexual selection and ornamentation
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Size / genetics; Cyprinodontiformes / anatomy & histology; Cyprinodontiformes / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Genetic Speciation; Genetic Variation; Male; Pigmentation / genetics; Selection, Genetic
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Reproduction; Plant and animal studies; Amphibian and Reptile Biology
TL;DR: A promising approach is illustrated for gaining a detailed understanding of the many contributing factors in the evolution of multivariate sexual signals by testing the effects of resource availability, male body size and other life‐history traits, key aspects of the transmission environment, sex ratio, and predation risk on variation in multiple male color traits of Bahamas mosquitofish inhabiting blue holes.

2013 journal article

Environmental drivers of demographics, habitat use, and behavior during a post-Pleistocene radiation of Bahamas mosquitofish (Gambusia hubbsi)

Evolutionary Ecology, 27(5), 971–991.

By: J. Heinen n, M. Coco n, M. Marcuard n, D. White n, M. Peterson n , R. Martin n, R. Langerhans n 

author keywords: Adaptive radiation; Blue holes; Competition; Ecological divergence; Habitat shift; Predation
topics (OpenAlex): Fish Ecology and Management Studies; Genetic diversity and population structure; Animal Behavior and Reproduction
TL;DR: Variation in predation risk appears to represent the primary driver of ecological differentiation in this system, but other previously underappreciated factors (interspecific competition, resource availability) are notable contributors as well. (via Semantic Scholar)
