In Trinidаd, mоuntаin streаms flоw frоm high elevation to low elevation and form shallow pools at different altitudes.  Pools at high altitudes have few fish predators while pools at lower altitudes have many fish predators.  A biologist has been studying the guppies (small fish) that live in these pools and has noticed some patterns in their life history as well as their coloration.  Guppies in upper pools are larger and reproduce much later than guppies in smaller pools Males in the upper pools are more brightly colored than the males in the lower pools.  Females have similar coloration in both upper and lower pools.  Based on what you have learned in class, explain why we see these patterns in life history and coloration in guppies.
