- Species recognition by male swordtails via chemical cues (2005, unknown): “Work on female mate recognition in other species suggests that individuals could be drawn to novel traits that are not expressed in their own species (e.g., Basolo, 1995; Ryan and Rand, 1990) or, if expressed, are present in a more intense form in heterospecifics (Pfennig, 2000).”
- Avoiding a compromise between sexual selection and species recognition: female swordtail fish assess multiple species-specific cues (2003, background): “One possible outcome is a compromise: selection could reduce female preference for the sexually selected trait that overlaps with the heterospecific trait, thereby diminishing the risk of heterospecific matings but also the benefits of mating with high-quality conspecifics (Gerhardt, 1994; Pfennig, ”
- The use of multiple cues in mate choice (2003, background): “Sexual selection and species recognition can also be in conflict if sexual selection preferences overlap with traits found in heterospecifics (Gerhardt, 1982; Rand, Ryan & Wilczynski, 1992; Ryan & Rand, 1993 b ; Pfennig, 1998, 2000).”
- Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Frogs Call at a Higher Pitch in Traffic Noise (2009, background): “Fitness benefits arising from mating with a male that produces energetically costly calls include higher rates of fertilization in Spea multiplicata (Pfennig 2000), faster-growing offspring in Hyla versicolor (Welch et al. 1998), and access to higher-quality nesting sites in Pseudophryne bibronii…”
- Sources of background noise and their influence on vertebrate acoustic communication (2013, background): “Potash (1972) tested this prediction by exposing Japanese quails, Coturnix japonica, to increased levels of noise in the laboratory.”
- Social environment and reproductive interference affect reproductive success in the frog Rana latastei (2003, background): “Nonetheless, the breakdown of sexual isolation may be unique as a mechanism of reproductive interference because it can involve conflicting selection for choice of a high-quality partner, male competitive ability, and capacity for species recognition (Reyer et al., 1999; Pfennig, 2000).”
- Recognition and Localization of Acoustic Signals (2007, background): “males producing calls at a higher-than-average rate (Pfennig 2000).”
