Researchers discovered a tropical male fish that becomes more attractive to females when it displays homosexual behaviour.

Scientists believe homosexuality is widespread throughout the animal kingdom. But it can be puzzling since males that prefer same sex relations father fewer offspring than their heterosexual counterparts.

Research has shown the female Atlantic molly (Poecilia mexicana) prefer mating partners whom they saw having sex with a female - a phenomenon called mate copying.

This also occurred when males interacted sexually with another male, according to the findings published in Biology Letters.

Male fish can therefore increase their attractiveness towards females by displaying homosexual behaviour and thereby improve their chances of future heterosexual mating, the scientists believe.

David Bierbach, of the University of Frankfurt, and colleagues said this new mechanism might explain the occurrence and persistence of homosexuality also in other animal species.

The researchers said: "Male homosexual behaviour - although found across the animal kingdom - remains a conundrum, as same-sex mating should decrease male reproductive fitness.

"In most species, however, males that engage in same-sex sexual behaviour also mate with females, and in theory, same-sex mating could even increase male reproductive fitness if males improve their chances of future heterosexual mating.

"Females regularly use social information to choose a mate; e.g. male attractiveness increases after a male has interacted sexually with a female (mate choice copying).

"Here, we demonstrate that males of the tropical freshwater fish Poecilia mexicana increase their attractiveness to females not only by opposite-sex, but likewise, through same-sex interactions.

"Hence, direct benefits for males of exhibiting homosexual behaviour may help explain its occurrence and persistence in species in which females rely on mate choice copying as one component of mate quality assessment."

This is the kind of misinformation we get that leads to some moorons who think they are enlightened, progressive, liberal, intellectual and open-minded start screaming "there are gay animals".

The article and the newspaper state "gay behaviour" the OP called it "gay males".

First stage: Lack of comprehension.
Second stage: Misinformation of others.
Third stage: Misinformed fucktards screaming "You are a bigot, there are gay animals. Scientific research has shown it".

Terrible things are happening these days

Good.

Thank God he mentioned this. Before some idiots come here and start justifying homosexual behaviour in humans because they saw animals acting like homosexuals.

Nope. That is a weak defense.

I don't have any beef with them.

I just think homosexuality is abnormal and everyone should acknowledge this instead of pretending that it is normal.

Despite all the advances oyinbo peeps have bequeathed the planet, you wonder how they think at times
SMH at the article
Oyinbo man jus looking or another way to justify his deviant sexual behaviour

This user is too hungry to comment!

Wetin omo boy go chop?

Will you use that moronic defense again?

Bullsht! I'm suspicious of this mumu research.

And cannibals will use the same excuse. "even fish eat other fish" Nonsense Savages & their heritage!

just to give credence that dan daudu is normal that even animals dei do, why not humans! Sickos propaganda!

Wonders shall never end. Imagine eating "Fried Gay Fish". Yuk.

Here we go again,dis freaks trying to justify their silly behaviour,I doubt this research 100%,even if it is true does that mean they would want to emulate fishes,I thought we were suppose to be higher in everything including reasoning..and to all u gay peeps,I think u guys have fish mentality so mayb u guys have fish br***...lol k dat waz a joke,am sorry if I offend anyone...lol
