Host shifts and signal divergence: mating signals covary with host use in a complex of specialized plant‐feeding insects (2009, background): “…(Kokko et al., 2002; Mead & Arnold, 2004; Rodríguez et al., 2008); through developmental effects on preferences (Rodríguez & Greenfield, 2003); or because different signal traits or values are associated with male viability or condition on different host plants (Proulx, 1999; Lorch et al., 2003).”
Physiological condition and immune function in great tits (Parus major L.): sources of variation and trade-offs in relation to growth (2006, background): “Individual condition can be defined as the amount of resources available for allocation to fitness-enhancing traits (Lorch et al. 2003).”
A Guide to Sexual Selection Theory (2012, background): “…and stop sampling when they sample a male that matches a certain threshold (Real 1990, Wiegmann et al. 2010), such that the value of this threshold may depend on the particular way females acquire information about the male phenotype distribution (e.g., Dombrovsky & Perrin 1994, Luttbeg 1996).”
Contemporary evolution of secondary sexual traits in the wild (2007, background): “Good-gene models are therefore less likely to explain rapid population divergence of secondary sexual traits ( Lorch et al . 2003 ) compared with other sexual selection mechanisms, including runaway processes caused by Fisherian or sexual conflict mechanisms, or direct fitness benefits to females of”
Lonely hearts or sex in the city? Density-dependent effects in mating systems (2006, background): “Since there appears to be no consensus on how sexual selection influences population-level adaptation and extinction risk (e.g. Doherty et al. 2003; Lorch et al. 2003; Morrow & Fricke 2004), drawing conclusions about directions of causalities would be premature too.”
The size of the red wing spot of the American rubyspot as a heightened condition-dependent ornament (2008, background): “Condition can be also seen as the amount of resources available for allocation to fitness-enhancing traits (Lorch et al. 2003; Tomkins et al. 2004), given the assumption that all these traits are costly to produce, which thus can result in production and maintenance conflicts if the individual has…”
