Sexual selection on locomotor performance (2008, background): “Nonetheless, females may benefit from mate choice by direct benefits via resources acquired from the chosen mate(s) or indirect benefits through offspring viability via ‘good genes’ or ‘sexy sons’ (Kirkpatrick and Ryan, 1991; Andersson, 1994; Kokko, 1998; Kokko et al., 2003; Kotiaho and Puurtinen, 2”
Distinguishing between male and territory quality: females choose multiple traits in the pied flycatcher (2009, background): “Distinguishing between these two mechanisms in driving the evolution of sexual traits is an important but often neglected aspect needed for understanding how sexual selection works (Kotiaho & Puurtinen 2007).”
Evaluating performance costs of sexually selected traits (2007, unknown): “2006; Kotiaho & Puurtinen 2007).”
