Fruit or aposematic insect? Context-dependent colour preferences in domestic chicks.
Colours are common stimuli in signalling systems. Requirements to function well as a signal sometimes conflict between different signallers, and the same colour stimulus is used to convey completely different messages to the same receiver. Fruits and aposematic insects both use red coloration as a signal, in the former case to signal profitability and in the latter case as a warning signal. In ...
متن کاملThe Intersexual Genetic Correlation for Lifetime Fitness in the Wild and Its Implications for Sexual Selection
BACKGROUND The genetic benefits of mate choice are limited by the degree to which male and female fitness are genetically correlated. If the intersexual correlation for fitness is small or negative, choosing a highly fit mate does not necessarily result in high fitness offspring. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING Using an animal-model approach on data from a pedigreed population of over 7,000 col...

متن کاملRapid evolution of the intersexual genetic correlation for fitness in Drosophila melanogaster
Sexual antagonism (SA) arises when male and female phenotypes are under opposing selection, yet genetically correlated. Until resolved, antagonism limits evolution toward optimal sex-specific phenotypes. Despite its importance for sex-specific adaptation and existing theory, the dynamics of SA resolution are not well understood empirically. Here, we present data from Drosophila melanogaster, co...
متن کاملFinding near optimum colour classifiers: genetic algorithm-assisted fuzzy colour contrast fusion using variable colour depth
This thesis presents a complete self-calibrating illumination intensity-invariant colour classification system. We extend a novel fuzzy colour processing technique called Fuzzy Colour Contrast Fusion (FCCF) by combining it with a Heuristicassisted Genetic Algorithm (HAGA) for automatic fine-tuning of colour descriptors. Furthermore, we have improved FCCF’s efficiency by processing colour channe...
