• Learning affects mate choice in female fruit flies (2005, unknown): “First, male D. melanogaster can learn to avoid courting females of the closely related Drosophila simulans, which typically reject all mating attempts by male D. melanogaster (Dukas, 2004).”
• Reinforcement and learning (2007, background): “Specifically, if individuals can learn to avoid heterospecifics due to prior experience (e.g., Magurran and Ramnarine 2004; Dukas 2004, 2006), deleterious hybridization can be avoided.”
• Evolutionary ecology of learning: insights from fruit flies (2009, unknown): “…the emergence and development of cognitive ecology, which focuses on the functions of learning in nature and on adaptive differences in learning skills between populations and species in relation to their ecology (Shettleworth 1999; Healy and Braithwaite 2000; Reader and Laland 2002; Dukas 2004a).”
• Experience improves courtship in male fruit flies (2005, unknown): “melanogaster) indicate that the males are typically indiscriminate and court both receptive and unreceptive conspecific and interspecific females (Spieth & Ringo 1983; Noor 1996; Dukas 2004).”
• Effects of learning on evolution: robustness, innovation and speciation (2013, background): “While the males initially indiscriminately court conspecific females and females of the sister species, Drosophila simulans, both rejection by the heterospecific females and acceptance by conspecific females cause the males to selectively reduce heterospecific courtship (Dukas 2004; Ellis & Carney 2”
• Reproductive Interference Between Animal Species (2008, background): “Learning behavior is another evolutionary response by which organisms may decrease the costs from reproductive interference (Dukas 2004; Magurran and Ramnarine 2004).”
