Female polymorphisms, sexual conflict and limits to speciation processes in animals (2007, neutral): “recognized as important in insects (Bonduriansky 2001; Byrne and Rice 2006).”
Female mating biases for bright ultraviolet iridescence in the butterfly Eurema hecabe (Pieridae) (2008, background): “Supporting the second possibility is the general expectation that males should also be choosy, and the observation that many male insects, including polyandrous pierid butterflies (Rutowski 1985), exhibit mate choice for phenotypic markers of fecundity such as body size (see review in Bonduriansky ”
Female mating failures in insects (2010, background): “Mate choice by males has evolved under conditions where mating represents a significant investment for males (Bonduriansky, 2001).”
Cryptic male choice: sperm allocation strategies when female quality varies (2002, background): “In analogy, we define cryptic male choice as any male behaviour that allows males to bias their investment in matings towards certain females (Bonduriansky, 2001; Engqvist & Sauer, 2001).”
The description of mate choice (2015, background): “This diversity is in part justified as there are multiple aspects of mate choice that can be described (Jennions and Petrie 1997) and because a single suite of terms may not be appropriate for all study systems (Bonduriansky 2001).”
Kin recognition and incest avoidance in a group-living insect (2007, background): “When mating costs are high for males, mate choice theories predict that they become selective and are able to bias their mating effort toward females with the highest reproductive values (Bonduriansky 2001).”
Sexual selection in females (2009, background): “Male mating preferences have now been documented in insects (Dewsbury 1982; Kvarnemo & Simmons 1999; Bonduriansky 2001), fish (Sargent et al.”
The evolution of prudent choice (2005, background): “Monaghan, 2001; Fawcett and Johnstone, 2003; Hardling et al., 2004), there is increasing recognition that male mate choice plays a role in shaping mating systems (Riechert and Singer, 1995; Amundsen and Forsgren, 2001, 2003; Bonduriansky, 2001; Saether et al., 2001).”
Reproductive Interference Between Animal Species (2008, background): “2005), and many insects (Bonduriansky 2001; Thornhill and Alcock 2001; Suzuki et al. 2005).”
Chemosensory cues allow male Tenebrio molitor beetles to assess the reproductive status of potential mates (2004, background): “when female quality varies), male mate choice is expected to evolve (Verrell 1990; Andersson 1994; Bonduriansky 2001).”
Information content of female chemical signals in the wolf spider, Schizocosa ocreata: male discrimination of reproductive state and receptivity (2005, background): “…one purpose in conveying information between sender and receiver, and that behavioural responses of male and female receivers to multiple cues have evolved as a result of differential costs and investment involved in assessment of signal content (Gwynne 1991; Penn & Potts 1998; Bonduriansky 2001).”
Evolution and diversity of bark and Ambrosia beetles (2015, background): “acuminatus, which we discussed earlier (Bonduriansky, 2001). Bonduriansky (2001) finds that male choosiness in Coleoptera is favored, for example, when both sexes occur in dense aggregations and there are low search costs, a common scenario for bark and ambrosia beetles.”
Sound signalling in orthoptera (2002, background): “…been shown to occur in an acridid (Melanoplus sanguinipes), a gryllid (Acheta domesticus) and a number of tettigoniids but is based on chemical or tactile cues; male mate choice based on female song has not yet been demonstrated (for a review of male mate choice in insects see Bonduriansky, 2001).”
Female Size Influences Mate Preferences of Male Guppies (2004, background): “Although male mate choice is probably more common than previously thought (Bonduriansky 2001), it has received much less attention than female choice in fishes, particularly in species in which females show strong preferences for males with conspicuous ornaments (Houde 2001).”
