Female swordtail fish use chemical cues to select well-fed mates (2006, background): “All rights reserved. recognition in both female (Fisher et al. 2006) and male (Wong et al. 2005) X. birchmanni, as well as females in other swordtail species (Crapon de Caprona & Ryan 1990; McLennan & Ryan 1997, 1999; Hankison & Morris 2003).”
Multimodal signalling: structural ultraviolet reflectance predicts male mating success better than pheromones in the butterfly Colias eurytheme L. (Pieridae) (2007, background): “…but recent studies suggest that mate choice may generate and maintain multiple secondary sexual traits in a wide diversity of animals (Andersson 1994; Endler 1995; Backwell & Passmore 1996; Omland 1996; Marchetti 1998; Møller et al. 1998; Hill et al. 1999; Hankison & Morris 2003; McLennan 2003).”
Species recognition by male swordtails via chemical cues (2005, unknown): “Despite this, almost all the studies that have examined the role of odor cues in vertebrate mate recognition have looked at the question solely from a female choice perspective (Crapon de Caprona and Ryan, 1990; Hankison and Morris, 2003; McLennan and Ryan, 1997, 1999; but see Cardwell et al., 1992;”
