Add to ORKG▪ There are two prevalent forms of sexual selection in the animals:Male-Male Competition and Female Choice ▪ Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) have been shown to demonstrate Female Choice ▪ Environmental factors, such as background color, have been shown to affect female interest in specific males ▪ Guppies tend to show interest in the color orange and we predicted that females would show a preference for males on an orange backgroun
Early social experience can be important in shaping female mate choice. Previous work has shown that...

We were curious to know if female guppies are more interested in the quality or quantity of males
In most animals, the origins of mating preferences are not clear. The "sensory-bias" hypothesis prop...
