    Distribution, colour polymorphism and habitat use of the African killifish, Nothobranchius furzeri, the vertebrate with the shortest life span

  • Original language description

    Intensive collection in southern Mozambique revealed that Nothobranchius furzeri is a widespread species. During collection in February 2008 (the second part of the rainy season), populations were strongly female-biased and there was a spatial pattern infemale bias among metapopulations. Populations varied in the proportion of male colour morphs. 14 populations were composed exclusively of the red male phenotype, 3 populations of the yellow male phenotype and 12 populations were mixed. Overall, the redphenotype was more common, but there was strong geographical variation in morph proportion, with yellow males more abundant at the periphery and red male dominance in the centre of the range of N. furzeri in the Limpopo basin. Nothobranchius furzeri wassympatric with N. orthonotus and N. rachovii. Analysis of habitat use of N. furzeri is presented; N. furzeri was associated with pools containing a soft muddy substrate and turbid water.

    Rozšíření, barevný polymorfismus a preference habitatu halančíka Nothobranchius furzeri, druhu s nejkratším životním cyklem mezi obratlovci

  • Czech description

    Data z jižního Mozambiku ukázala, že N. furzeri je poměrně hojným druhem. Mapovali jsme jeho areál a zjistili, že populace jsou s převahou samic. N. furzeri se vyskytují sympatricky se dvěmi druhy rodu Nothobranchius; některé populace N. furzeri jsou tvořeny výhradně samci červené formy (centrum areálu), jiné výhradně žlutými samci (okraje areálu) a v dalších se vyskytují obě barevné formy. Poměr pohlaví u všech populací je výrazně posunut ve prospěch samic (prům. 72% samic). Charakterizovali jsme základní typologii lokalit s výskytem N. furzeri a sesbírali vzorky na srovnání potravy mezi příbuznými druhy Nothobranchius (včetně potravní nabídky).
