Species differences in courtship acoustic signals among five Lake Malawi cichlid species (Pseudotropheus spp.) (2008, background): “, as well as in other fishes, mate recognition and evaluation may involve the integration of different sensory components (Candolin, 2003).”
Forget-me-not: Complex floral displays, inter-signal interactions, and pollinator cognition (2011, background): “Chittka et al., 1999). From the plant’s perspective, constancy likely increases pollen transport to conspecifics; from the pollinator’s perspective, constancy is usually interpreted as evidence of sensory or cognitive constraints that results in less-than-optimal behavior. For example, Gegear and La”
Multimodal Signaling in Male and Female Foot-Flagging Frogs Staurois guttatus (Ranidae): An Alerting Function of Calling (2007, background): “In general, acoustic signals are the least constrained by environmental factors (Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1998).”
Phenotypic plasticity affects the response of a sexually selected trait to anthropogenic noise (2013, background): “However, an interaction between phenotypic plasticity and a novel selective pressure could maintain the reliability of song as a sexually selected trait (Candolin 2003; Candolin and Heuschele 2008; Cornwallis and Uller 2010).”
Complex signal function: developing a framework of testable hypotheses (2004, background): “Multiple sensory environments Candolin (2003) introduced the term “multiple sensory environment” to address situations where signal transmission and reception is influenced by environmental conditions.”
Communication in troubled waters: responses of fish communication systems to changing environments (2011, background): “…Mormyriformes and South American Gymnotiformes) making up a very small proportion of all fish diversity (about 1.5%; Moller 2006); however, the generation and sensory processing of electric signals has been the focus of a large body of neuroethological studies (for review, see Bullock et al. 2005).”
Rationality for Mortals: How People Cope with Uncertainty (2008, background): “…from the mammals’ life spans (fi gure 3.1) and also perhaps from male traits used by females for mate choice, where quality variation might be expected to generate a positive correlation between all traits (which is observed in some examples, although others show no correlation: Candolin, 2003).”
Sex role preferences, gender conflict and sperm trading in simultaneous hermaphrodites : a new framework (2006, background): “Given that the potential fitness returns depend on various phenotypic traits of both mating partners, the gender ratio hypothesis requires that hermaphrodites assess not only their own need for allosperm as fertility insurance or nutritional input, but also the quality of their current partner ( Can”
Preferred songs predict preferred males: consistency and repeatability of zebra finch females across three test contexts (2007, background): “If females within a population differ in whether they predominantly look for direct or indirect benefits (e.g. resourceholding potential versus genetic benefits), they may pay attention to different signals to choose the most suitable male (Candolin, 2003).”
Multiple signals in chameleon contests: designing and analysing animal contests as a tournament (2006, background): “Many recent studies have highlighted the need to consider multiple traits in studies of sexual selection (Møller & Pomiankowski 1993; Johnstone 1996; Brooks & Couldridge 1999; Pryke et al. 2001; Andersson et al. 2002; Candolin 2003; van Doorn & Weissing 2004).”
Wild tree squirrels respond with multisensory enhancement to conspecific robot alarm behaviour. (2009, positive): “…to multimodal signals of male courtship are more likely to be captured by (human) predators than are females attending to fewer signal channels from the male, presenting empirical evidence for an important cost of multimodal communication suggested by Candolin (2003) and Partan & Marler (2005).”
Sexual selection in the squirrel treefrog Hyla squirella: the role of multimodal cue assessment in female choice (2007, background): “that females across many taxa assess multicomponent signals (for review see Rowe 1999; Candolin 2003) and a female’s mate choice is likely to result from the assessment of multiple signals.”
Multimodal communication and mate choice in wolf spiders: female response to multimodal versus unimodal signals (2009, background): “Multimodal signals represent functional units upon which selection has acted and they reflect selection pressures for signalling efficacy as well as information content (see reviews by Partan & Marler 1999, 2005; Candolin 2003; Partan 2004; Hebets & Papaj 2005).”
Multimodal mixed messages: the use of multiple cues allows greater accuracy in social recognition and predator detection decisions in the mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki (2010, background): “In mate choice decisions, the assessment of multimodal cues can often allow the collection of important additional information rather than different sensory cues simply acting as a back up to each other (Candolin 2003).”
Peahens do not prefer peacocks with more elaborate trains (2008, background): “Peacock researchers will need to become more multimodal, as pointed out by Maynard Smith (Harper 2006), in reference to the current findings of universality, advantage, or functions of multimodal signals in mate choice (reviewed in Candolin 2003).”
