• A conspicuous courtship signal in the fiddler crab Uca perplexa: female choice based on display structure (2006, background): “Vision is very good, however, if the object penetrates the horizon line (Land and Layne 1995; Zeil and Al-Mutairi 1996; Christy et al. 2002).”
• The evolution of mate choice and mating biases (2003, background): “In fiddler crabs, for example, mud pillars built by males near their burrows appear to increase male mating success because they invoke a female anti-predator response (Christy et al. 2002).”
