Citations in the corpus

• Lateralized female topminnows can forage and attend to a harassing male simultaneously (2006, background): “This behavior was probably related to the fact that females can find relief from male disturbance by shoaling with other females (Dadda et al., 2005; Pilastro et al., 2003).”
• Sexual harassment in live-bearing fishes (Poeciliidae): comparing courting and noncourting species (2007, background): “Therefore, a female attempting to avoid unwanted copulations might need to dedicate less vigilance to a courting male compared with a male employing sneaky mating (Pilastro et al. 2003 for a discussion).”
• Male sexual harassment and female schooling behaviour in the eastern mosquitofish (2005, background): “Such intense sexual activity of males is costly to the female in terms of conspicuousness to predators (Magurran & Seghers 1994a; Pocklington & Dill 1995; Houde 1997) and foraging efficiency (Magurran & Seghers 1994b; Griffiths 1996; Schlupp et al. 2001; Pilastro et al. 2003).”
• Does brain asymmetry allow efficient performance of simultaneous tasks (2006, background): “Female mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki, on the other hand, seem to be able to modify their pattern of aggregation to minimize interference in foraging activity from sexual harassment by males ( Pilastro et al. 2003; Dadda et al. 2005).”
• Sex and social networking: the influence of male presence on social structure of female shark groups (2010, background): “This high potential rate of reproduction may promote male behavioral strategies, which negatively impact female reproductive success (Magurran and Seghers 1994; Croft et al. 2003; Pilastro et al. 2003).”
• The costs of mating and egg production in Callosobruchus seed beetles (2006, background): “…& Langley 1997; Watson et al. 1998; Muhlhauser & Blanckenhorn 2002; Martin & Hosken 2004), including C. chinensis (Lan & Horng 1999), but also in vertebrates (Le Boeuf & Mesnick 1991; Magurran & Seghers 1994; Reale et al. 1996; Shine et al. 2000; Pilastro et al. 2003; Plath et al. 2003).”
