雌性孔雀鱼Poecilia reticulata的后代Tacarigua人口在特立尼达受到高度捕食表现出强烈的偏好，男性类胡萝卜素着色水平相对较高。这项研究控制了雄性求偶的差异，揭示了这个群体的择偶是基于橙子色素的表达，而不管雄性动机的差异。(C)2004年，不列颠群岛渔业协会。
Female guppies Poecilia reticulata descended from the Tacarigua population in Trinidad subject to high predation exhibited strong preferences for males with relatively high levels of carotenoid colouration. The study, which controlled for differences in male courtship, revealed that mate choice in this population is based on the expression of orange pigmentation,, irrespective of differences in male motivation.
