The use of multiple cues in mate choice (2003, background): “…and territory characteristics (or nest or other resource characteristics) has been found in several species, which implies that male and territory (resource) traits often back each other up as signals of male quality (e.g. Price, 1984; Kvarnemo, 1995; Bart & Earnst, 1999; Candolin & Voigt, 2001).”
Comparative age and growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) in lakes Nabugabo and Wamala, Uganda (2007, background): “Larger males would therefore accrue a reproductive advantage (Candolin & Voigt, 2001) and sex-specific differences in the growth rate in the present study may be attributed, at least in part, to sexual selection for larger, potentially faster-growing males.”
