I want to study some of the destructive effects of standard laboratory housing conditions of fish in the introduction of a manuscript. It is very exciting when I can address such examples in the form of mate choice behaviour.
You may want to look into Prof Anne E. Magurran's research on the ecology, evolution and mate choice of the Trinidad guppy fish.
There are several works in this field, I mean about mate choice, above all female choosing a male for the offspring, for example "felmales prefer males with superior fightting abilities but avoid sexually harassing winners when eavesdropping on male fights" Bierbach et al 2013. It's very interesting. I hope this information is helpful for your purpose.
Dear Elvira
Your information here is helpful but I could not found any differences. The key aspect of my question is that the differences between natural conditions and lab conditions in the mate preference.
