Does male gonopodial morphology affect male-female mating positioning in the livebearing fish Xenophallus umbratilis?

Xenophallus umbratilis is a freshwater livebearing fish that exhibits unique antisymmetry in the male gonopodium, which terminates in either a dextral or sinistral twist. This asymmetry in the gonopodium suggests that males might exhibit side-biased behavior when interacting with females to mate. We...
