Preference for male traits in female wolf spiders varies with the choice of available males, female age and reproductive state (2007, background): “However, there are many intervening factors that may affect the ultimate mate choice of a female, including predation risk (Godin and Dugatkin 1995), competition for available mates (Fawcett and Johnstone 2003), female age (Jouventin et al.”
Male mate choice: why sequential choice can make its evolution difficult (2010, background): “…competition) can have the opposite effect of favouring choice ifmales ‘specialize’ in targeting different sets of females depending on their own competitiveness or other traits (Fawcett & Johnstone 2003; Härdling & Kokko 2005; Bel-Venner et al. 2008; Härdling et al. 2008; Rowell & Servedio 2009).”
Parental investment, sexual selection and sex ratios (2008, background): “Male mate choice, for example, may evolve more easily if males can perceive and respond to their own competitive ability (Fawcett & Johnstone, 2003; Härdling & Kokko, 2005; Bel-Venner et al., 2008) than if they cannot (Servedio, 2007), and the different scenarios can involve a range of assortative…”
Effects of resource holding potential and resource value on tenure at nest sites in sand gobies (2005, background): “Analogous to this, models of mutual mate choice have suggested that low quality males may be better off preferring low quality females if competition for high quality females is intense (Fawcett and Johnstone, 2003).”
The evolution of prudent choice (2005, background): “Some of our results are in line with those of Fawcett and Johnstone (2003), who modelled the evolution of mate preferences during a pre-breeding period of mate acquisition.”
Mate choice for cognitive traits: a review of the evidence in nonhuman vertebrates (2011, background): “In fact, this need not be the case: theoretical (McNamara et al. 1999; Todd and Miller 1999; Fawcett and Johnstone 2003; Härdling and Kokko 2005; Cotar et al. 2008; Fawcett and Bleay 2009; Venner et al. 2010) and empirical (Little et al.”
Chemosensory assessment of rival competitive ability and scent-mark function in a lizard, Podarcis hispanica (2007, background): “1), which could reflect the existence of a seasonal shift in the cost-to-benefit balance of entering or exploring scent-marked areas (e.g. Fawcett & Johnstone 2003).”
