Topics of master projects in Pilastro's lab include 1) interaction between pre- and postcopulatory episodes of sexual selection in determining male reproductive success; 2) the role of animal personalities in sexual selection; 3) the role of anticipatory plasticity in sexual behaviour in determining sexual selection trajectories. All these studies are done on our Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) fish from a seminatural population at the Botanical Garden of the University of Padova. Experiments are conducted at the Department of Biology.
