- Sexual selection in females (2009, background): “Sometimes, males prefer older, larger or more dominant partners (Szykman et al. 2001; Werner & Lotem 2003; Wong & Jennions 2003; Herdman et al. 2004; Preston et al. 2005; Muller et al. 2006; Kvarnemo et al. 2007) while, in others, they prefer younger partners (Buss 1989; Jones 1996; Orrell & Jenssen”
- Sexual harassment in live-bearing fishes (Poeciliidae): comparing courting and noncourting species (2007, background): “…(G. holbrooki: Bisazza et al. 1989; P. latipinna: Ptacek and Travis 1997; P. mexicana: Plath et al. 2006; P. reticulata: Dosen and Montgomerie 2004; Herdman et al. 2004) presumably because of their higher fecundity (e.g., P. reticulata: Herdman et al. 2004; P. latipinna: Tobler et al. 2005).”
- Audience effect alters mating preferences in a livebearing fish, the Atlantic molly, Poecilia mexicana (2008, unknown): “Male mating preferences for large female size are especially well documented in poeciliid fish (guppies, P. reticulata: Herdman et al. 2004; Magellan et al. 2005; sailfin molly, P. latipinna: Ptacek & Travis 1997; P. mexicana: Plath et al. 2006).”
