Familiarity with the test environment improves escape responses in the crimson spotted rainbowfish, Melanotaenia duboulayi (2001, unknown): “Male guppies show similar blasé attitudes towards predation and tend to focus on sneaky mating attempts while the females are distracted (Magurran and Garcia 2000).”
Intraspecific food competition in fishes (2006, background): “…in fishes has perhaps been studied most extensively in guppies: female guppies grow larger than males and are able to exploit different habitats as a result of size-related reduction in predation risk and sexual differences in social behaviour (Magurran and Garcia 2000; Croft et al. 2003, 2004).”
Contribution of phenotypic plasticity and heredity to the trophic polymorphism of lacustrine brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis M.) (2004, background): “The ecological role of the phenotypic differences between sexes has received little attention in the context of trophic polymorphism (Ehlinger, 1990; Magurran and Garcia, 2000; Kristjánsson et al., 2002).”
Correlation between boldness and body mass in natural populations of the poeciliid Brachyrhaphis episcopi (2007, background): “Differences in the boldness scores between the sexes might be explained by variation in life-history priorities ( Magurran & Garcia, 2000 ).”
