• Aggressive contests in house crickets: size, motivation and the information content of aggressive songs (2006, background): “Gray & Eckhardt (2001) showed that neither diet, male residual mass, nor fat reserves was correlated with temporal or frequency-related song characters in the courtship song of the field cricket, Gryllus texensis.”
• Do sexual ornaments demonstrate heightened condition-dependent expression as predicted by the handicap hypothesis? (2004, background): “Courtship song has been investigated in G. texensis (Gray & Eckhardt 2001).”
• Female preference for male courtship song and its role as a signal of immune function and condition (2006, unknown): “Similarly, Gray & Eckhardt (2001) found that in G. texensis manipulations of larval and adult diet did not affect courtship song, and although parameters of the song itself were weakly correlated with male age, they were not related to the male’s fat content.”
• Courtship effort is a better predictor of mating success than ornamentation for male wolf spiders (2009, background): “Diet manipulations are considered good starting points for examining condition dependence because of both the ease with which diet can be controlled and the natural biological relevance of variable food intake (Birkhead et al. 1999; Gray and Eckhardt 2001; Scheuber et al. 2003; Cotton et al. 2004b).”
