Fish Predation on Bosmina longirostris: Body-Size Selection Versus Visibility Selection
Abstract
We examine the effects of fish predation on a population of Bosmina longirostris (O. F. Muller), a smaller, limnetic cladoceran, in Gatun Lake, Panama. We test the relative importance of two different modes of predator selection: body—size selection, in which fish choose the largest of otherwise identically appearing individuals, and visibility selection, in which fish choose individuals having the greatest amount of body pigmentation. In B. longirostris, this pigmentation is most heavily concentrated in the large, black, compound eye of these otherwise transparent animals. We find that these predators are feeding according to visibility selection and that body—size selection is of negligible importance under these circumstances. We then discuss the general applicability of these findings, and the evolutionary consequences for prey populations under this type of selective pressure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
