Male bluegill vary in color and behavior relative to their position in a lek by Matthew Peroš, Lakshita Vij, Elana Anavian, Kevin Almeida Arteaga, Fatima Iya Haruna, Aliza Siegman, Wei Fang, Sebastian Gaston Alvarado, Sebastian Gaston Alvarado

“…To test this hypothesis, we quantified color patterns in wild communities of bluegill using computer vision, scored the behavior of lek occupying parental males, and categorically classified lek position as a function of neighboring males. From these data, we show that body coloration and behavior vary with lek position, suggesting a division of labor in the construction and maintenance of grouped territories where courtship and sexual selection take place. …”
