• Female European green lizards (Lacerta viridis) prefer males with high ultraviolet throat reflectance (2010, methodology): “However, while the role of UV in male–male competition (Stapley and Whiting 2006; Whiting et al. 2006) and in male mate choice (LeBas and Marshall 2000) has been demonstrated in lizards, the single study testing the role of male UV colouration in female mate choice has rejected its importance (LeBas”
• Relating endocrinology, physiology and behaviour using species with alternative mating strategies (2007, background): “…differences among AMS include body size or shape (Wikelski, Carbone & Trillmich 1996; Clark 1997) or colour (Rand 1992; Lank et al. 1995; Pryke & Griffith 2006; Spinney, Bentley & Hau 2006; Whiting et al. 2006) or both (Sinervo & Lively 1996, Clark & Biesiadecki 2002; Franck, Müller & Rogmann 2003).”
