This project investigates how changes in environmental light conditions influence the evolution of sensory traits in guppies. By conducting experimental evolution studies, it aims to understand shifts in visual perception and mate selection in response to altered habitats.
When a species invades a new habitat, or its existing environment changes, its perception of the world is likely to change because environments differ in the physical properties on which the senses depend.
This has profound implications because senses determine how animals find and discriminate between mates or prey, avoid potential predators, and locate better microhabitats.
For example, changed visual environments will cause predictable evolutionary changes in visual contrast to predator and…
