Selected polyandry: female choice and inter-sexual conflict in a small nocturnal solitary primate (Microcebus murinus) (2004, methodology): “We use the term “strategy” for a genetically fixed norm of reaction (“behavioral genotype”) containing a more or less variable set of “tactics” specifically expressed by environmental conditions (“behavioral phenotypes”) (Dominey 1984; Hazel et al. 1990; Gavrilets and Scheiner 1993; Brockman 2001).”
Allometry and sexual selection of male weaponry in Wellington tree weta, Hemideina crassidens (2005, background): “A demonstration that precocially maturing males possess smaller heads, on average, than do males that delay maturation to the 10th instar (Figure 1) led Spencer (1995) to suggest that an irreversible alternative mating strategy (Brockmann, 2001) may exist with smaller males adopting a wandering or s”
Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “Such threshold-dependent switch mechanisms are probably a much more widespread phenomenon than the rather rigidly determined polymorphisms just described (Brockmann 2001; reviewed in Emlen 2008).”
Latitudinal and bathymetric trends in egg size variation: a new look at Thorson's and Rass's rules (2006, background): “1), echinoderms and fish (Kock 1992; Winemiller & Rose 1992; Nigmatullin & Laptikhovsky 1994; Sewell & Young 1997; Laptikhovsky 1998; Jaeckle 2001; North 2001) mirroring the evolution of alternative reproductive strategies (see: Brockmann 2001).”
Behavioral dominance between female color morphs of a Lake Victoria cichlid fish (2009, unknown): “Examples include insects (Brockmann 2001), fish (Barlow 1983; Kingston et al. 2003), birds (Roulin 2004), and frogs (Hoffman and Blouin 2000).”
Relating endocrinology, physiology and behaviour using species with alternative mating strategies (2007, background): “Each strategy requires decisions regarding the allocation of time or energy or both to competing activities to maximize ﬁtness (Brockmann 2001).”
Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “…recent studies have demonstrated consistent differences in the extent of behaviour towards the same stimuli between individuals belonging to different populations (Taborsky 1994; Gross 1996; Brockmann 2001) and between individuals of the same population (Dingemanse et al. 2003; Drent et al. 2003).”
Conspecific Brood Parasitism in Birds: A Life-History Perspective (2008, background): “In the parlance of alternative reproductive behaviors, nesting and CBP are alternative reproductive tactics that, when combined together in all possible combinations, comprise a conditional life-history strategy (Brockmann 2001, Gross 1996).”
Condition-dependent spider web architecture in the western black widow, Latrodectus hesperus (2007, background): “By expressing alternative behaviours in different situations, organisms can maximize their fitness across diverse environments (Thornhill 1981; Maynard Smith 1982; Lima & Bednekoff 1999; Sih et al. 2000; Brockmann 2001).”
Plumage color and reproduction in the red-backed fairy-wren: Why be a dull breeder? (2008, background): “In these cases, the ornamented male phenotype appears to have high mating success and low-quality males (e.g., socially subordinate and/or in poor physiological condition) adopt the less ornamented phenotype as a ‘‘best-of-a-bad-job’’ tactic ( Brockmann 2001 ).”
Hybridization and the inheritance of female colour polymorphism in two ischnurid damselflies (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) (2005, background): “Recent studies on the maintenance of female polymorphism in odonates underlie a relationship between population density and morph frequency, and morph-specific fitness correlates (Cordero Rivera & Egido Pérez, 1998; Sirot & Brockmann, 2001; Andrés et al., 2002; Sirot et al., 2003).”
Adaptive strategies for managing uncertainty may explain personality-related differences in behavioural plasticity (2012, background): “The co-existence of alternative strategies is already well documented in a range of contexts (Brockmann 2001).”
