• Female European green lizards (Lacerta viridis) prefer males with high ultraviolet throat reflectance (2010, background): “Female mate preference based on UV reflectance has been repeatedly shown in birds (Bennett et al. 1996, 1997; Andersson and Amundsen 1997; Andersson et al. 1998; Pearn et al. 2001), fish (Smith et al.”
• Ultraviolet signals ultra-aggression in a lizard (2006, background): “Previous studies have focused on the role of UV signals in female mate choice (Bennett et al. 1996, 1997; Andersson et al. 1998; Hunt et al. 1998; Cuthill et al. 2000; Pearn et al. 2001; Smith et al. 2002).”
• Ultraviolet reflectance affects male-male interactions in the blue tit (Parus caeruleus ultramarinus) (2004, background): “Mate choice experiments with captive birds showed that females prefer males with higher UV plumage reflectance (Andersson and Amundsen, 1997; Bennett et al., 1996, 1997; Hunt et al., 1999; Pearn et al., 2001; Siitari et al., 2002).”
• Mouth coloration of nestlings covaries with offspring quality and influences parental feeding behavior (2007, background): “…Cuthill, Partridge, Bennett, Church, et al. 2000; Cuthill, Partridge, and Bennett 2000), most attention to avian UV vision has focused on its function in mate choice (Bennett et al. 1994; Hunt et al. 1999; Cuthill, Partridge, Bennett, Church, et al. 2000; Pearn et al. 2001; reviewed in Hill 2006).”
