• Antipredator responses of wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) to sensory cues representing an avian predator (2009, background): “…example, predation costs are associated with highly visual male secondary sexual traits such as the conspicuous coloration of male guppies (Poecilia reticulata) in a number of observational and experimental studies (Endler 1987, 1992; Godin & Briggs 1996; Dill et al. 1999; Godin & McDonough 2003).”
• Direct male-male competition can facilitate invasion of new colour types in Lake Victoria cichlids (2005, background): “Hence, competition over territory sites is likely intense, and may play an important role in sexual selection ( Fryer and Iles 1972; Seehausen et al. 1998a).”
