• Assessment of fighting ability in animal contests (2009, background): “…resources may be costly, in terms of energy use, time, risk of injury and increased risk of predation or death (e.g. Glass & Huntingford 1988; Kelly & Godin 2001; Briffa & Elwood 2004) and selection should favour accurate information gathering, regarding the likely costs and benefits of…”
• Self-assessment by males during energetically costly contests over precopula females in amphipods (2006, background): “Fighting for limited resources can be costly, in terms of time, energetic demands, risk of injury, increased risk of predation or death (e.g. Glass & Huntingford 1988; Jakobsson et al. 1995; Kelly & Godin 2001; Briffa & Elwood 2004).”
• The effects of resource availability on alternative mating tactics in guppies ( Poecilia reticulata ) (2005, background): “…guppies, in increasing order of presumed energetic investment, include sneaking copulations without courtship, displaying to females prior to copulation (courtship), and aggressively inhibiting rival males (Farr, 1989; Houde, 1997; Jirotkul, 2000; Kelly and Godin, 2001; Rodd and Sokolowski, 1995).”
• Fighting for harems: assessment strategies during male–male contests in the sexually dimorphic Wellington tree weta (2006, unknown): “…of high energetic demands and the risk of injury or even mortality, either from opponents (Hack 1997a, b; Neat et al. 1998b; Sneddon et al. 1999; Schuett & Grober 2000; Briffa & Elwood 2004; but see Riechert 1988) or from predators (e.g. Jakobsson et al. 1995; Brick 1998; Kelly & Godin 2001).”
