Abstract
Artificial aerial predators elicit different responses from two geographically isolated populations of Trinidad guppies (Poecilia reticulata) and their laboratory-reared progeny. The variation in behavior presumably reflects geographic differences in the selection pressures exerted by aquatic versus aerial predators.Keywords
