| Title | Competition moderates the benefits of thermal acclimation to reproductive performance in male eastern mosquitofish |
| Creator | Wilson, Robbie S. Hammill, Edd Johnston, Ian A. |
| Description | The reproductive behaviour of the sexually coercive male eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) offers an excellent model system for testing the benefits of reversible thermal acclimation responses to mating success. We acclimated male mosquitofish to either 18 or 30°C (14 h light : 10 h dark) for six weeks and tested their ability to obtain coercive copulations in the presence and the absence of male–male competition. Based on the beneficial acclimation hypothesis, we predicted for both... |
