• Sexual selection on locomotor performance (2008, background): “Third, if better locomotor ability was directly responsible for winning contests, it remained ambiguous how being a better locomotor performer translated to contest success (Lailvaux and Irschick, 2006a).”
• Sexual selection, sexual conflict and the evolution of ageing and life span (2008, background): “Likewise, sexual competition imposes strong selection on male condition and whole-organism performance (Lailvaux & Irschick 2006), potentially favouring alleles with positive pleiotropic effects on life span and somatic maintenance.”
• Compensatory traits and the evolution of male ornaments (2011, background): “…is generally defined by functional morphologists as an organism’s ability to accomplish an ecologically relevant task (Bennett & Huey, 1990; Lailvaux & Irschick, 2006; Husak et al., 2009), and represents how the morphology of organisms (including biochemical, physiological, and gross…”
• Does survival depend on how fast you can run or how fast you do run (2006, background): “‘Behaviour’ is a much more inclusive term that describes what an organism does, but does not quantify how well it does a given task (see Lailvaux & Irschick 2006 for a review).”
• The fitness advantage of a high‐performance weapon (2009, background): “performance, which by definition are specific to a given weapon, can provide this metric ( Lailvaux & Irschick, 2006 ).”
• A functional approach to sexual selection (2007, methodology): “We term the integration of functional morphology, evolutionary physiology and sexual selection as the ‘functional approach’ ( Lailvaux & Irschick 2006 ).”
• Relating endocrinology, physiology and behaviour using species with alternative mating strategies (2007, background): “Given the suite of traits that vary among morphs, what is the evidence that testosterone coordinates the expression of badges, aggressive behaviours, and enhanced physiological capacity necessary for displays, agonistic interactions and courtship behaviours (Lailvaux & Irschick 2006)?”
• How does selection operate on whole-organism functional performance capacities? A review and synthesis (2008, result): “This result is not entirely surprising in light of research showing strong links between sexual signal size and performance in lizards (Lailvaux and Irschick, 2006) and suggests that high-quality males may enjoy the best of both worlds: high survival rates and high reproductive success.”
