Species-typical chemical signals mediate reproductive isolation in a teleost fish
Abstract
The authors have withdrawn their manuscript because they can no longer stand by the behavioral data set and corresponding manuscript as submitted to bioRxiv. A colleague downloaded the data and noted seven instances where pairs of values were duplicated across trials for different pairs of stimuli (data set with duplicated values highlighted is available as supplementary data). While omitting these values from the data set does not qualitatively change the conclusions presented, we have no means to validate the remaining data and therefore feel the best course of action is to treat the whole dataset as invalid. Consequently, analyses and conclusions based wholly or partly on behavioral data are invalid as well. Therefore, the authors do not wish this work to be cited as reference for the project. If you have any questions, please contact the corresponding author.
