Ultraviolet signals ultra-aggression in a lizard (2006, background): “…of body size/condition and physiological state (e.g. circulating steroid hormones and immunocompetence) are all potentially important determinants of fighting ability and, therefore, of contest outcome (Anderson & Vitt 1990; Olsson 1992; López et al. 2002; Watt et al. 2003; Perry et al. 2004).”
Sources of individual shy-bold variations in antipredator behaviour of male Iberian rock lizards (2005, background): “This and many other lizards are sexually dimorphic with respect to head size (Braña 1996), which affects the outcome of intrasexual agonistic contests of many lizards (Anderson & Vitt 1990) including this species: males with relatively larger heads are more dominant (López et al. 2002).”
Female European green lizards (Lacerta viridis) prefer males with high ultraviolet throat reflectance (2010, background): “However, in territorial species, females can either choose their reproductive partner directly, i.e. according to the quality of the male (López et al. 2002; López and Martín 2005b; López et al. 2006; Martín and López 2008), or indirectly, based on the quality of the male’s territory (Calsbeek and…”
Fighting success and attractiveness as predictors of male mating success in the black field cricket, Teleogryllus commodus: the effectiveness of no-choice tests (2005, background): “prefer larger males, as they tend to win fights (Kotiaho et al. 1997; Hagelin 2002; Lopez et al. 2002).”
Links between male quality, male chemical signals, and female mate choice in Iberian Rock Lizards (2006, result): “These results confirmed the previous findings of other experiments with this and other lizard species (Martín & López 2000a; López et al. 2002, 2003; López & Martín 2005a).”
