• Does mutual sexual selection explain the evolution of head crests in pterosaurs and dinosaurs (2012, background): “Sexual selection has at times been disregarded as a possible evolutionary cause of ornaments in some species, simply because all specimens (and therefore presumably both males and females) are ornamented (Hopson 1975) or because clear sexual dimorphism is absent (Padian & Horner 2011a).”
