Brooks, R.; Caithness, N.
- Abstract
The article deals with a study on the sexual responses of female guppies from a feral South African population to chose their mates under different light treatments. Influences on female were based on its proportion glide response on orange, white and blue individual light treatments. Findings indicate that under normal conditions males with more complex orange patterns are more preferred by females.
