• Audience effect is context dependent in Siamese fighting fish, Betta splendens (2005, background): “Doutrelant and McGregor (2000) recognized the possibility that the size of the male’s bubble nest could influence a female bystander’s mate choice decisions, but they did not examine whether males with nests behaved differently than males without nests.”
• The effect of an audience on intrasexual communication in male Siamese fighting fish, Betta splendens (2001, unknown): “Eavesdropping can give information on quality of potential mates or potential opponents (Doutrelant and McGregor, 2000; Naguib and Todt, 1997; Oliveira et al., 1998; Otter et al., 1999).”
• The role of information in mate-choice copying in female sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna) (2002, background): “This additional information gathering is a kind of eavesdropping, which can provide important information in communication networks between same-sex individuals and different-sex individuals ( Doutrelant and McGregor 2000 ).”
• Social network theory: new insights and issues for behavioral ecologists (2009, background): “Experiments show that the information gained then influences later interactions; e.g., even with no direct interaction with potential opponents, males that have observed an earlier fight tend to approach and initiate attacks on previous losers sooner than previous winners (Oliveira et al. 1998; Earl”
• Audience effect alters mating preferences in a livebearing fish, the Atlantic molly, Poecilia mexicana (2008, unknown): “…communicating individuals alters its behaviour in relation to the observed communication event (eavesdropping; McGregor 1993; Oliveira et al. 1998; Doutrelant & McGregor 2000; Johnstone 2001; McGregor et al. 2001; Peake et al. 2001; Naguib & Kipper 2006) or (2) how the observing (‘by-standing’)…”
• From eavesdropping on performance to copying the behavior of others: a review of public information use (2007, unknown): “Doutrelant and McGreggor (2000) found that when female fighting fish, Betta splendens, were allowed to view a male–male interaction, they preferentially visited the winner more often than the loser of the interaction.”
• Insect duets: underlying mechanisms and their evolution (2003, background): “Eavesdropping is when a receiver extracts information from an interaction in which it takes no part (McGregor, 1993; Doutrelant & McGregor, 2000).”
• A functional perspective on sexual selection: insights and future prospects (2006, background): “Females from several species may even ‘eavesdrop’ on fights between males, and in some cases, may associate preferentially with winners (e.g. Doutrelant & McGregor 2000; but see Ophir & Galef 2003).”
• Ultraviolet reflectance affects male-male interactions in the blue tit (Parus caeruleus ultramarinus) (2004, background): “Males might therefore benefit from engaging in aggressive interactions if females eavesdrop on the issue of the contest (Doutrelant and McGregor, 2000; Doutrelant et al. 2001; Mennill et al., 2002; Otter et al., 1999).”
