Male sexual harassment and female schooling behaviour in the eastern mosquitofish (2005, unknown): “00/0 2005 The Association for the S sexual act per min over the whole breeding season, which can last 6–12 months in tropical species (e.g. Bisazza et al. 1996; Houde 1997).”
Female aggregation and male competition reduce costs of sexual harassment in the mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki (2003, background): “00/0  2003 Published by Elsevie 1161 Among the Poeciliidae, a group of livebearing fish, the sexual activity of males is intense and in some species it reaches one sexual act/male per min throughout the breeding season (Houde 1997).”
Balancing natural and sexual selection in sockeye salmon: interactions between body size, reproductive opportunity and vulnerability to predation by bears (2001, background): “Brightly coloured males are favoured as mates by females (Houde, 1987, 1997) but are more conspicuous to predators (Endler, 1978).”
Social learning of foraging sites and escape routes in wild Trinidadian guppies (2003, background): “Guppies prefer relatively still pools and the edges of rivers, with movement of guppies between pools unlikely during the time course of the experiments (Magurran et al. 1995; Houde 1997).”
The use of multiple cues in mate choice (2003, background): “Indications of both have been found in the guppy as orange coloration, body size and display rate indicated viability in some populations (Houde, 1997), whereas a combination of multiple signals reflected attractiveness, but reduced viability, in another population (Brooks, 2000).”
Sperm number and velocity affect sperm competition success in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) (2011, background): “Surprisingly, despite the huge attention given to postcopulatory sexual selection and its mechanisms in this species (Houde 1997; Magurran 2005), specific studies aimed at understanding whether, and to what extent, sperm number and quality influence fertilization ability are still lacking, even thou”
Do Eco-Evo Feedbacks Help Us Understand Nature? Answers From Studies of the Trinidadian Guppy (2014, background): “HP and LP guppies also differ in male colouration (Endler, 1978), courtship behaviour (Houde, 1997), schooling behaviour (Seghers, 1974; Seghers and Magurran, 1995), morphology (Langerhans and DeWitt, 2004), swim-”
Do female association preferences predict the likelihood of reproduction? (2010, background): “There is no evidence that female green swordtails can further invest in offspring following fertilisation of the egg, being lecithotrophic as opposed to matrotrophic (Houde 1997; Kruger et al. 2001).”
Structurally based plumage coloration is an honest signal of quality in male blue grosbeaks (2000, background): “Similar examples of female choice for reliable signals of quality can be found for guppies (P. reticulata; e.g., Houde, 1997; Houde and Torio, 1992; Kodric-Brown, 1985) and barn swallows (Hirundo rustica; Møller, 1994).”
Effects of relaxed predation pressure on visual predator recognition in the guppy (2003, methodology): “The pike cichlid (Crenicichla alta) is generally considered to be the most dangerous guppy predator (Houde 1997) so it is surprising that the Tacarigua females reacted to the Crenicichla model and that of the snake in a similar manner.”
Sex and sociality in a disconnected world: A review of the impacts of habitat fragmentation on animal social interactions (2007, background): “Furthermore, increased predation pressure was observed to influence the mating tactic of male freshwater guppies (Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859) in favour of more ‘‘sneaky mating’’ strategies and change mate-choice preferences of females toward less brightly coloured males (Endler 1995; Houde 199”
Male Mate Choice in the Guppy (Poecilia reticulata): Do Males Prefer Larger Females as Mates? (2004, methodology): “Although male–male competition contributes to male reproductive success in the guppy, it is commonly assumed that such success depends primarily on individual male quality and female mate choice (Houde 1997).”
Dietary carotenoid pigments and immune function in a songbird with extensive carotenoid-based plumage coloration (2003, background): “Carotenoid-based integumentary coloration has been found to be an important criterion in female choice for a number of species of birds and fish (Hill, 1999), and a primary benefit of choosing brightly colored males is likely information about the foraging ability, nutritional condition, and parasit”
Conspicuous males suffer higher predation risk: visual modelling and experimental evidence from lizards (2003, background): “Well-known examples include guppies, Poecilia reticulata (Houde 1997), bivalves (Whiteley et al.”
The role of sexual harassment in cave and surface dwelling populations of the Atlantic molly, Poecilia mexicana (Poeciliidae, Teleostei) (2003, background): “In other species (e.g. the genus Gambusia), all males uniformly show only forced copulation attempts (Farr 1989) or both tactics may occur depending on context (see Houde 1997 for guppies).”
