Enhancing the colouration of the marine ornamental fish Pseudochromis fridmani using natural and synthetic sources of astaxanthin
This study quantifies the effects of astaxanthin concentration as a dietary supplement (25,
50, 75, and 100 ppm) and supplementation time (0, 14, 28, 42, 56, and 70 days) on the …

Genetic architecture of conspicuous red ornaments in female threespine stickleback
Explaining the presence of conspicuous female ornaments that take the form of male-typical
traits has been a longstanding challenge in evolutionary biology. Such female ornaments …

The freshwater macroalga Oedogonium intermedium can meet the nutritional requirements of the herbivorous fish Ancistrus cirrhosus
The macroalga Oedogonium intermedium has a diverse elemental profile, high energy
potential, high lipid content, a high proportion of essential amino acids and a total …

Carotenoids‐based reddish pelvic spines in nonreproducing female and male sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) – Signalling social dominance?
KK Kroken, AA Sæthre, O Nicolaisen… - Ecology and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Conspicuous ornaments are often considered a result of evolution by sexual selection.
According to the social selection hypothesis, such conspicuous traits may also evolve as …

Gene expression in male and female stickleback from populations with convergent and divergent throat coloration
JS McKinnon, WB Newsome… - Ecology and …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding of genetic mechanisms underlying variation in sexual dichromatism remains
limited, especially for carotenoid‐based colors. We addressed this knowledge gap in a gene …

Conspicuous Female Ornamentation and Tests of Male Mate Preference in Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in many animal
species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally …

Phenotypic correlates of pelvic spine coloration in the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus): implications for function and evolution
Animal color patches may be static or plastic in expression and concealable or continuously
visible, yet the evolution and function of these aspects of coloration have seldom been …
