Experience leads to preference: experienced females prefer brush-legged males in a population of syntopic wolf spiders (2007, background): “Although less common in studies of invertebrates, effects of experience on mate choice and associated behaviors have recently been demonstrated in several invertebrate taxa (damselflies, flies, spiders, and crickets) (Miller and Fincke 1999; van Gossum et al. 2001; Wagner et al. 2001; Hebets 2003; D”
Female polymorphisms, sexual conflict and limits to speciation processes in animals (2007, unknown): “This requires that damselfly males have phenotypically plastic search images and/or learned mate preferences, for which there is now experimental evidence (Van Gossum et al. 2001; Fincke et al. 2007).”
The size of the red wing spot of the American rubyspot as a heightened condition-dependent ornament (2008, background): “For example, Fincke et al. (2007) recently documented the color reflectance peak of the thorax in Enallagma damselflies, which was between 350 and 475 nm and thus inferred animals were able to detect UV patterns.”
The evolution and evolutionary consequences of social plasticity in mate preferences (2013, unknown): “There are, for example, documented cases of shifts in peak preference to the mate types experienced in damselflies (Miller & Fincke 1999; Fincke et al. 2007), swordtail fish (Walling et al. 2008) and wolf spiders (Hebets 2003).”
