The paper investigates whether exploratory and activity behaviors in guppies are genetically linked or independent, finding contrasting familial resemblance patterns.

The paper shows that social competition in early life leads to compensatory growth in male guppies, which reduces sperm production despite similar adult size.

This study shows that female reproductive fluid in two swordtail species differentially mediates postmating discrimination against heterospecific and related sperm, contributing to reproductive isolation.

The paper examines guppy male phenotypes associated with coercive mating success, finding traits that partially overlap with those advantageous in cooperative mating.

The paper finds that in guppies, telomere length is negatively correlated with sperm production, suggesting a trade-off between reproduction and maintenance rather than aging.
