Sexual selection theory largely rests on the assumption that populations contain individual variation in mating preferences and that individuals are consistent in their preferences. However, there are few empirical studies of within-population variat...

Behavioral dominance between female color morphs of a Lake Victoria cichlid fish (2009)
Journal Article

Species that exhibit genetic color polymorphism are suitable for studying the evolutionary forces that maintain heritable phenotypic variation in nature. Male color morphs often differ in behavioral dominance, affecting the evolution of color polymor... Read More about Behavioral dominance between female color morphs of a Lake Victoria cichlid fish.
