I'm thinking that maybe the finer the sand, the better for the eggs? The particle size could maybe be the factor affecting her decision in mate choice. Some have suggested that the circular structure was actually made just to direct fine sand particles into the center. The structure of the peaks and valleys, along with water flow, direct fine particles toward the center.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997724252948267275.post-52742527190543546622014-03-14T23:34:40.510-04:002014-03-14T23:34:40.510-04:00Very interesting.

I am curious why making these circular structures is seen as a beneficial trait by the female pufferfish? Also, It is very surprising that such noticeable structures would have been seen and known about way before 1995. I wonder if all puffers do this or just a specific species.
