Temporal constraints and female preference for burrow width in the fiddler crab, Uca mjoebergi (2007, background): “These costs and constraints can cause females to adjust their mate choice decisions (Watson et al. 1998; Luttbeg et al. 2001; Lynch et al. 2005).”
Evolution of female choosiness and mating frequency: effects of mating cost, density and sex ratio (2012, unknown): “In natural situations, we may expect an interaction between female choice and the time of season: females would be less choosy when the reproductive season is almost over (Lynch et al. 2005).”
Preference for male traits in female wolf spiders varies with the choice of available males, female age and reproductive state (2007, background): “As changes in reproductive effort and reproductive value may alter the benefits and costs of mating preferences, i.e., preference functions or degree of choosiness, females may also be expected to vary in sexual receptivity with age (Qvarnstrom et al. 2000; Kodric-Brown and Nicoletto 2001; Mack et a”
