• Do female association preferences predict the likelihood of reproduction? (2010, background): “This could be the result of differences between longand short-sworded males in fertility (sperm and ejaculate quality and/or quantity) or the ability to coerce females into mating (female poeciliids are not in complete control of mating (Houde 1997; Bisazza et al. 2001)).”
• Male sexual harassment and female schooling behaviour in the eastern mosquitofish (2005, unknown): “…first, the females approached the larger male only when harassed and second, female eastern mosquitofish usually avoid males except when they are virgin, postpartum or deprived of males for long periods (Bisazza et al. 2001), whereas in this study we used only gravid, sexually unreceptive females.”
• Female aggregation and male competition reduce costs of sexual harassment in the mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki (2003, methodology): “2001) and we used only gravid mid-cycle females, which always actively avoid sexually active males (McPeek 1992; Bisazza et al. 2001).”
• Avoiding a compromise between sexual selection and species recognition: female swordtail fish assess multiple species-specific cues (2003, background): “We have assumed that time associating with a stimulus is a good measure of mating preference based on studies of two other fish species: Time associating with a male has been shown to indicate preference to mate in the closely related swordtail X. nigrensis (Morris et al., 1992; Ryan et al., 1990) a”
