This project examines how green swordtail fish perceive variations in male fin length during mate selection and competition. It tests whether these visual signals are perceived continuously or proportionally under different environmental conditions.
Individuals evaluate one another during interactions using assessment signals that indicate quality, and these signals vary across individuals, reflecting variation in signaler quality.
For example, green swordtail (Xiphophorus helleri) females assess the length of an extended caudal fin (known as a sword) on males, which ranges in length from 10-70mm in nature, during mate choice, and males evaluate one another’s swords during agonistic encounters.
Models of signal evolution implicitly assume t…
