Competition and phylogeny determine community structure in Müllerian co-mimics

Abstract: Until recently, the study of negative and antagonistic interactions (for example, competition and predation) has dominated our understanding of community structure, maintenance and assembly. Nevertheless, a recent theoretical model suggests that positive interactions (for example, mutualisms) may counterbalance competition, facilitating long-term coexistence even among ecologically undifferentiated species. Müllerian mimics are mutualists that share the costs of predator education and are therefore ideally sui… Show more

“…Vertebral counts include only free centra, with the compound caudal centra (preural 1+ ural 1) counted as a single element. Terminology of snout external morphology follows Alexandrou et al (2011). In the description and diagnosis, the dark longitudinal stripes were counted only when well defined, continuous and not fused to the blackened dorsal portion of the fish's body.…”

“…Corydoras brittoi can be distinguished from all of its congeners, with exception of the species from 'lineage 8' sensu Alexandrou et al (2011), by the presence of posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine with laminar serrations directed towards the origin of the spine (vs. serrations, when present, conical; directed towards dorsal-fin spine tip in the members of the remaining lineages). Corydoras brittoi can be distinguished from other members of 'lineage 8', with exception of C. bifasciatus Nijssen, 1972, C. pinheiroi Dinkelmeyer, 1995 andC.…”
