Paternal care as a conditional strategy: Distinct reproductive tactics associated with elaboration of plumage ornamentation in the house finch (2002, background): “Across reproductive attempts, relative investment in condition-dependent traits and parental care should vary among individuals of different age and reproductive history (i.e., individuals of different residual reproductive value; e.g., Burley, 1986; Kokko, 1997; Smith, 1995; Williams, 1966).”

The ability to perform physically challenging songs predicts age and size in male swamp sparrows, Melospiza georgiana (2009, background): “…& Nowicki 2005), reliable signals of age and size are likely to provide valuable information to females both in terms of heritable variation in viability as well as the ability of males to provide high-quality resources to females and offspring (Andersson 1994; Kokko & Lindström 1996; Kokko 1997).”

Condition-dependent signaling affects male sexual attractiveness in field crickets, Gryllus campestris (2003, background): “For instance, if signal design involves a life-history tradeoff between present signaling effort and future reproductive output, then a disproportional allocation of resources to signaling relative to body reserves might be the evolutionary optimal strategy (Kokko, 1997).”
The evolution of mate choice and mating biases (2003, background): “…questions that remain are how these genes influence the life-history trade-off between survival and reproductive investment for sons and daughters (Kokko 1997, 2001; Hö glund & Sheldon 1998; Badyaev & Qvarnströ m 2002), whether they have similar or opposing effects on the fitnesses of sons and…”
Lifetime mating success, sexual selection and life history of fallow bucks (Dama dama) (2000, background): “avoiding the risks associated with reproductive effort, younger males may reduce the mortality associated with developing sexually selected traits, and thus might increase their potential for reproduction in later life (Clinton and Le Boeuf 1993; Kokko 1997a ).”

Is cricket courtship song condition dependent (2001, background): “Although the basic trade-off between current and future reproduction is widely recognized in the life-history literature, it has been under-appreciated by those studying mate choice (but see Kokko 1997; Candolin 1999).”
