Sexual selection in females (2009, background): “…that in monogamous species where both sexes are brightly coloured or carry other ornaments, mutual mate choice may often play an important role in the development of secondary sexual characters in both sexes, reinforcing genetic correlations between them (Amundsen 2000a; Kraaijeveld et al. 2007).”
Compensatory traits and the evolution of male ornaments (2011, background): “We note that there are cases where the evolution of male and female ornaments are due to selective advantages for both sexes (e.g., Kraaijeveld et al., 2007; Simmons & Emlen, 2008) and that sexual dimorphism can result from gains and losses of male and female ornaments (e.g., Wiens, 2001).”
Does mutual sexual selection explain the evolution of head crests in pterosaurs and dinosaurs (2012, background): “However, in extant species including birds, it is common for partial expression of ‘male’ ornamentation to be present in both sexes (Amundsen 2000; Kraaijeveld et al. 2007), and clear bimodal distributions are inevitably hard to”
