As our recent research explains, our local pipefish species really does confound expectations.

Key Points: 
  • As our recent research explains, our local pipefish species really does confound expectations.
  • Pipefish are unusual because the males carry their developing babies around on their bodies, often in special broad pouches.
  • This was unexpected because the wide-bodied pipefish gets its name from the broad, colourful, striped abdomen of the female – not the male.
  • Given this ornamentation, we expected females would approach males for courtship and display more often and for longer than males.
