Abstract
In many species, individuals of both sexes have developed a variety of visual signals and behavioral patterns with which to broadcast their quality as mating partners (1). The complexity of these signals makes it difficult to distinguish those that are most important in mate selection. Animated models offer a solution to this problem by allowing for the alteration of single parameters in the complex stimulus presented. In this study, we have tested the use of computer animated three-dimensional models to analyze mate choice criteria in zebrafish; we applied this tool to examine the roles played by two visual characteristics in mate selection.
