This project investigates how the evolution of placentation in livebearing fish affects maternal locomotion during pregnancy. By comparing species with and without placentas, it aims to understand the implications for swimming performance and reproductive burden in the Poeciliidae family.
Livebearing is a reproductive strategy that confers both costs and benefits to females.
One important cost is a reduction in locomotory performance of the mother during her pregnancy.
This can detrimentally influence her feeding efficacy and her ability to avoid predation.
Some livebearing organisms have evolved reproductive life-history adaptations that help minimize these locomotory costs.
For example, in livebearing snakes the transition to an arboreal life style is accompanied by a repositio…
