Does dewlap size predict male bite performance in Jamaican Anolis lizards (2005, background): “Consequently, dewlap size in Anolis lizards has likely evolved in response to multiple ecological pressures (female attraction, male–male competition, and antipredator signalling; Greenberg & Noble 1944; Crews 1975; Leal & Rodríguez-Robles 1997a,b; Losos & Chu 1998; Leal 1999; Jenssen et al. 2000).”
A functional perspective on sexual selection: insights and future prospects (2006, background): “For example, headbobbing or pushup displays, which are considered critical for lizard maleemale contests (Jenssen et al. 2000), may be constrained by endurance ability (Brandt 2003).”
Assessment of fighting ability in animal contests (2009, background): “Similarly, dewlap displays, in which the extendable throat fan is flared at an opponent during contests, are thought to provide visual information on fighting ability (Jenssen et al. 2000; Vanhooydonck et al. 2005), particularly since dewlap size has been shown to correlate with determinants of RHP,”
