• Cooperation and Coordination in Socially Monogamous Birds: Moving Away From a Focus on Sexual Conflict (2019, background): “This is one of most widely studied socially monogamous species with respect to mate choice (e.g., Forstmeier and Birkhead, 2004; Rutstein et al., 2007), with experimental trials typically focused on individuals that have been kept in single sex groups for long periods before being given the opportun”
• The Zebra Finch: the ultimate Australian supermodel (2010, background): “Recent work has found that wild Zebra Finches differ from domesticated stocks in traits such as mate-choice behaviour (Rutstein et al. 2007), female infidelity (Griffith et al. 2010), body size (Tschirren et al. 2009), and the level of synchrony in hatching of broods (Mainwaring et al. 2010).”
• The effect of experimental design on the measurement of mate choice: a meta-analysis (2015, background): “…Jennings et al. 2011; Lehmann and Lehmann 2008; Schöfl et al. 2011; Xu and Wang 2009), fish (e.g., Hurt et al. 2004; Kullmann and Klemme 2007; Suk and Choe 2002), amphibians (e.g., Phelps et al. 2006), reptiles (e.g., Rosenblum 2008), and birds (e.g., Gillingham et al. 2009; Rutstein et al. 2007).”
• Low level of extrapair parentage in wild zebra finches (2010, background): “The zebra finch has been similarly prominent in the field of sexual selection through studies of mate choice (e.g. Rutstein et al. 2007), ornamental song (e.g. Collins et al. 1994), parental care (e.g. Burley 1988), sex allocation (e.g. Burley 1981) and maternal effects (e.g. Gil et al. 1999).”
• Do female association preferences predict the likelihood of reproduction? (2010, methodology): “There are a number of laboratory-based experimental methodologies for assessing female mating preferences (Houde 1997; Shackleton et al. 2005; Rutstein et al. 2007) which vary in their efficacy at removing the effect of male– male competition (Houde 1997).”
