Mate choice and body pattern variations in the Crown Butterfly fish Chaetodon paucifasciatus (Chaetodontidae)

Abstract: Mate choice is an important ecological behavior in fish, and is often based on visual cues of body patterns. The Crown Butterfly fish Chaetodon paucifasciatus (Chaetodontidae) is a monogamist, territorial species; it swims in close proximity to its partner throughout most of its life. This species is characterized by a pattern of 6–8 vertical black stripes on a white background, on both sides of its body. Our aim was to define spatial features (variations) in body patterns by evaluating the level of dissimilar… Show more

“…For example, body pattern features of the crown butterfly fish [51] and zebrafish [39] can be used for conspecific identification of mates. The shape of the tail fin affects behavioural response to conspecifics in swordtail fish [52] and bettas [53].…”

“…For example, to correctly outline a flying bird, algorithms might look for the areas where the wings intersect with the sky (Atanbori, Duan, Murray, Appiah, & Dickinson, 2016). Image features have been primarily used to study the evolutionary ecology of animal coloration (Stoddard, Kilner, & Town, 2014), shape (Lavy et al, 2015) and patterning (Levy, Lerner, & Shashar, 2014). Compared to human review, computer vision provides a more consistent way to score animal appearance across images by using non-RBG colour spaces, such as HSV or YChCr, which are less sensitive to changes in illumination and other image artefacts (Kühl & Burghardt, 2013;Troscianko, Skelhorn, & Stevens, 2017).…”

“…The use of computers to present animations/videos in the study of visually guided behaviours has been instrumental in understanding the interaction of complex traits and behaviour, for instance through the manipulation of the morphology and movement patterns of computer generated animals (Chouinard‐Thuly et al, ; Clark, Kizer Zeeff, Karson, Roberts, & Uetz, ; Hebets & Uetz, ). Typically, these stimuli are presented to animals using LCD screens (How, Pignatelli, Temple, Marshall, & Hemmi, ; Levy, Lerner, & Shashar, ; Stewart, Kinoshita, & Arikawa, ; Van Hamme, Wasserman, & Biederman, ), which are able to create a wide array of colours using mixtures of three differently coloured lights (Red, Green, Blue [RGB]). The relative intensity required to produce a specific colour is based on extensive psychophysical experimentation in humans (Richardson, ).…”
