Mate choice for cognitive traits: a review of the evidence in nonhuman vertebrates (2011, background): “2007) and by both sexes in northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis; Jawor et al. 2003) and American goldfinches (Carduelis tristis; MacDougall and Montgomerie 2003).”
The evolution of mutual ornamentation (2007, background): “Highly orna-mented males are often paired to highly ornamented females (Jawor et al. 2003; but see Linville et al. 1998), suggesting that there may be directional sexual selection fa-vouring female ornaments.”
Taking the sensory approach: how individual differences in sensory perception can influence mate choice (2012, unknown): “For example, northern cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis, mate assortatively by plumage colour (Jawor et al. 2003).”
