It’s not all about her: Men’s mate value and mate retention (2009, background): “For instance, men allocate more effort to mate retention when they perceive that the risk of their partner’s infidelities is greater (Buss & Shackelford, 1997; Goetz et al., 2005; Starratt, Shackelford, Goetz, & McKibbin, 2007).”
When we hurt the ones we love: Predicting violence against women from men's mate retention (2005, methodology): “Men s use of Sexual Inducements and femaledirected violence both are motivated by sexual jealousy (Daly & Wilson, 1988; Daly et al., 1982; Goetz et al., 2005), and this may account for the consistent relationships between men s use of Sexual Inducements and female-directed violence.”
Human Sperm Competition (2015, background): “In an independent test of the hypothesis that successfully displacing rival semen may require specific copulatory behaviors, Goetz et al. (2005) investigated whether and how men under a high risk of sperm competition might attempt to “correct” a female partner’s sexual infidelity.”

Mate retention in marriage: Further evidence of the reliability of the Mate Retention Inventory (2005, methodology): “Buss (1988) and Buss and Shackelford (1997) provide additional information about the development of the MRI.”
