Genetics for Guppies is written to help the guppy breeder understand and use genetics. This is accomplished with clear explanations, illustrations, tables, and over 40 color photographs.Contains valuable information about: - How genes are inherited and interact. - Genetic terminology explained - Identifying if a gene is sex linked or autosomal. - How meiosis process distributes genes to egg and sperm. - Applying genetic principles to breeding programs. - Improving size of guppies.- Analyzing guppies from crosses.The author, Bryan Chin has won IFGA Best in Show awards in tank and delta categories. He has also won in class awards in Greens, Multicolor, Blue, Red, Purple, Blue-Green Bicolor, Variegated Snakeskin, and Breeder Male. In 2013 he was named Guppy Man of the Year and in 2018 qualified as IFGA Master Breeder status. Bryan has authored "Breeding Show Guppies" and "Healthy Aquarium" books. He has written fancy guppy articles published in Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine, IFGA newsletter, and in his guppywest.com informational website. He has also spoken at aquariums clubs and events regarding the breeding of show guppies.

This book describes the sexual behavior of guppies and examines how mate choice by females leads to the evolution of the conspicuous colors and the courtship displays for which guppies are widely recognized. The author shows that female guppies prefer males with bright color patterns, especially those with orange spots, and that the mating preferences of females lead to sexual selection on both color patterns and courtship displays of males.

Genetic studies aimed at understanding the origin of species are dominating major scientific journals. In the past decade, genetic tools that were previously available only in model systems have become accessible to investigators working on nearly all species. Concurrent with these technical advances has been an increase in understanding of both the importance of considering the ecological context of speciation and testing hypotheses about causes for species formation. Many recent studies suggest a prominent role of sexual selection in species formation. These advances have produced a need for a synthesis of what we now understand about speciation, and perhaps more importantly, where we should go from here. In this volume, several leading investigators and rising stars have contributed reviews and/or novel primary research findings aimed at understanding the ultimate mystery on which Darwin named his most famous and influential book. Fundamental to the origin of species is the evolution of mate choice systems. This collection of papers discusses burgeoning genetic, evolutionary, and ecological approaches to understanding the origins of mating discrimination and causes of premating reproductive isolation both within and between species. The individual contributions span a wide spectrum of disciplines, taxa, and ideas (some controversial). This synthesis brings together several of the most recent ideas with supporting empirical data. This book will be of particular interest to both undergraduate and postgraduate researchers and students and researchers in the field of evolutionary biology, genetics and animal behaviour.

This unique book looks at the biology of aging from a fundamentally new perspective, one based on evolutionary theory rather than traditional concepts which emphasize molecular and cellular processes. The basis for this approach lies in the fact that natural selection, as a powerful determining force, tends to decline in importance with age. Many of the characteristics we associate with aging, the author argues, are more the result of this decline than any mechanical imperative contained within organic structures. This theory in turn yields the most fruitful avenues for seeking answers to the problem of aging, and should be recognized as the intellectual core of gerontology and the foundation for future research. The author ably surveys the vast literature on aging, presenting mathematical, experimental, and comparative findings to illustrate and support the central thesis. The result is the first complete synthesis of this vital field. Evolutionary biologists, gerontologists, and all those concerned with the science of aging will find it a stimulating, strongly argued account.
