Evolution of female colour polymorphism in damselflies: testing the hypotheses (2002, unknown): “A signal detection model (Sherratt 2001) predicts that this polymorphism is maintained by male mimicry coupled with a higher encounter rate of androchromes with males.”
Lack of innate preference for morph and species identity in mate-searching Enallagma damselflies (2007, background): “…mimicry models that evoke frequency-dependent detection of andromorphs, there would be no need for any frequency-independent disadvantage for the andromorph, such as “reduced life expectancy due to predation” (Robertson 1985) or a greater probability of being encountered by males (Sherratt 2001).”
Hybridization and the inheritance of female colour polymorphism in two ischnurid damselflies (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) (2005, methodology): “In a signal-detection model Sherratt (2001) proposed that androchromes are not only more similar to males, but are also encountered more often by males, and suggested that these factors might combine to generate a balanced polymorphism.”
Female-limited mimetic polymorphism: a review of theories and a critique of sexual selection as balancing selection (2009, background): “…still controversial whether such sexual harassment occurs, how much impact it has on female fitness, and whether avoidance of sexual harassment alone could maintain Ischnura female polymorphism (Sherratt 2001; Sirot & Brockmann 2001; Sirot et al. 2003; Fincke 2004; Rivera & Sánchez-Guillén 2007).”
The evolution and frequency of female color morphs in Holarctic Odonata: why are male-like females typically the minority? (2005, background): “…that whereas the heteromorph is always recognized as a 'female', the malelike andromorph functions as a male mimic, which is invariably more difficult for males to recognize as 'female', either by heterospecific (Johnson 1975) or conspecific males (Robertson 1985; Hinnekint 1987; Sherratt 2001).”
Polymorphic signals of harassed female odonates and the males that learn them support a novel frequency-dependent model (2004, methodology): “In keeping with other biological signal detection models (e.g. Staddon & Gendron 1983; Sherratt 2001), I here use the term ‘encounter’ in the sense independent of detection.”
The evolution of imperfect mimicry (2002, methodology): “Basic structure My starting point is the signal detection model first proposed by Staddon and Gendron (1983) to identify optimal predatory strategies when dealing with cryptic prey, which was modified by Greenwood (1986) to apply to Batesian mimicry (see also Getty, 1985; Sherratt, 2001).”
