Morphological and functional maturity of the oral jaws covary with offspring size in Trinidadian guppies
Abstract Large size of individual offspring is routinely selected for in highly competitive environments, such as in low-predation populations of the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Large guppy offspring outcompete their smaller conspecifics, but the functional mechanisms underlying this ad...
