Sneaking from a female perspective (2007, background): “Notably, soliciting of sneaker males to ensure spermeegg compatibility does not predict these additional males to be of a higher intrinsic quality than guarder males, the logic that is otherwise inherent in all ‘good genes’ models (Kokko et al. 2006).”
Parental investment, sexual selection and sex ratios (2008, background): “This so-called ‘Fisher condition’ has important consequences for sex roles (Houston & McNamara, 2005; Kokko et al., 2006).”
Evolution of female choosiness and mating frequency: effects of mating cost, density and sex ratio (2012, unknown): “But inheritance could be a double-edge sword: while it does favour choosier females, evolving choosiness could deplete male variation, consequently decreasing the benefit of female choice, as in the lek paradox (Kirkpatrick & Ryan 1991; Kokko et al. 2006).”
Runaway Social Selection for Displays of Partner Value and Altruism (2007, background): “The resulting positive feedback makes displays and preferences more and more extreme until genetic variation is exhausted, or until the fitness increase from more matings equals the fitness decrease from lowered competitive ability and earlier mortality (Andersson 1994; Kokko et al. 2006).”
A Guide to Sexual Selection Theory (2012, methodology): “Only when both the cost of breeding and the mate-encounter rates are high for both sexes does it pay for both males and females to be choosy (Kokko & Johnstone 2002).”
Mate choice for indirect genetic benefits: scrutiny of the current paradigm (2007, background): “Nevertheless, pitting Fisherian runaway sexual selection against good genes sexual selection has only recently started to be settled largely due to the observation that both sexy son and good genes benefits can result from a single process of female choice for males with high breeding value for fitn”
Female–female aggression around mating: an extra cost of sociality in a multimale primate society (2011, background): “However, research over the years has revealed many inconsistencies in the relationships between parental investment, reproductive competition, and morpho-behavioral sex differences that suggest additional complexities in this traditional scheme (Gowaty 2004; Kokko et al. 2006; Clutton-Brock 2007).”
Differential allocation and compensation: who deserves the silver spoon? (2010, unknown): “If attractiveness is heritable, then the production of ‘‘sexy sons’’ (‘‘Fisher’s sons effect’’) will influence parental fitness (Kokko et al. 2006; Taylor et al. 2007).”
Mate Choice and Genetic Quality: A Review of the Heterozygosity Theory (2007, background): “Research on mate choice beautifully illustrates how theoretical work in the form of verbal and mathematical models develops alongside simple and more sophisticated empirical studies (e.g., Gustafsson and Qvarnström, 2006; Kokko et al., 2006; Qvarnström et al., 2006).”
Female mating biases for bright ultraviolet iridescence in the butterfly Eurema hecabe (Pieridae) (2008, background): “he evolution of extravagant sexual ornamentation has intrigued biologists since at least Darwin (1874) and continues to pose considerable empirical and theoretical challenges ( Kokko et al. 2006 ).”
Insights for Behavioral Ecology from Behavioral Syndromes. (2008, background): “For ornaments, observed traits are thought to be shaped by a trade‐off between sexual selection favoring exaggeration of the ornament versus natural selection preventing further elaboration (Endler, 1995; Kokko et al., 2006).”
