Does pregnancy affect swimming performance of female Mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis? (2002, background): “This result may indicate that there is a positive correlation between reproduction output (number of offspring) and cost of reproduction (decreasing swimming performance; Magnhagen 1991; Veasey et al. 2001 ).”
Mechanisms Underlying the Costs of Egg Production (2005, background): “It has been suggested that this might result in decreased chick-rearing ability through negative effects on flight performance (Monaghan et al. 1998, Veasey et al. 2001 ).”
A functional perspective on sexual selection: insights and future prospects (2006, background): “Thus, a proper physiological understanding of condition may direct us towards ‘hidden’ costs of male ornament expression, similar to hidden performance costs of reproduction (e.g. Veasey et al. 2001).”
