Contemporary evolution of secondary sexual traits in the wild (2007, methodology): “After some pioneering manipulation experiments on long-tailed widow birds, Euplectes progne (Andersson 1982), experimental studies aimed at identifying traits that are targets of sexual selection have exploded in number ( Andersson & Simmons 2006 ).”
Formidable females and the power trajectories of socially integrated male vervet monkeys (2017, background): “These generally work in conjunction insofar as a male that can control female movement should also be able to control access to them (Andersson & Simmons, 2006).”
Sexual Selection in the Loud Calls of Male Primates: Signal Content and Function (2006, background): “The argument generally requires that females derive either some immediate benefit from mating with a high-quality male or that fitness characteristics are heritable (cf. Møller and Alatalo, 1999; Paul, 2002; Ryan, 1997).”
Do Female Mandrills Prefer Brightly Colored Males? (2005, background): “Indeed, comparatively little is known about female choice for any male trait in primates (Paul, 2002; Setchell and Kappeler, 2003).”
Message ‘scent’: lemurs detect the genetic relatedness and quality of conspecifics via olfactory cues (2010, background): “Published reproductive advantage of the ‘best’ mate possessing ‘good genes’ (Neff & Pitcher 2005; Andersson & Simmons 2006).”
Mutual ornamentation, age and reproductive performance in the European starling (2005, background): “Several studies have provided conclusive evidence that females can assess the variation in male quality if males in better condition express more elaborate displays and that females prefer more conspicuously ornamented males (reviewed by Hill and Montgomerie, 1994; Ryan, 1997).”
Determinants of male reproductive success in wild long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis)—male monopolisation, female mate choice or post-copulatory mechanisms? (2006, background): “84 Whereas probability of paternity is affected on the pre-copulatory level (Paul 2002) (i.e. the level 85 on which a behaviour can in- or decreases the probability of mating between two individuals) by 86 male monopolisation and female mate choice, it will be affected on the post-copulatory level…”
Evolution of Primate Social Systems (2002, background): “This does not imply that primate females do not choose their mates (Manson, 1995; Paul, 2002; Small, 1989).”
Insights for Behavioral Ecology from Behavioral Syndromes. (2008, background): “Choice has been studied in many isolated contexts, for example, diet choice (Sih and Christensen, 2001), mate choice (Andersson and Simmons, 2006), or habitat choice (Stamps et al., 2005).”
Do males matter? The role of males in population dynamics (2007, background): “We have ignored the question of whether the presence of males can provide genetic benefits to females (recently reviewed by Andersson and Simmons 2006, Kokko et al. 2006), and whether competition between males can decrease the mutational load of sexual populations (Radwan 2004).”
Commensal bacteria play a role in mating preference of Drosophila melanogaster (2010, background): “In a review by Andersson and Simmons (18), the authors state: “As experimental evidence aBased on the GC CH profiles of D. melanogaster (12) and on GC-MS analyses.”
Cooperation and Coordination in Socially Monogamous Birds: Moving Away From a Focus on Sexual Conflict (2019, background): “Sexual Ornamentation A lot of work has taken the perspective that ornamental traits such as extravagant tails, colors and song, are primarily adverts through which males acquire females (Andersson and Simmons, 2006).”
Constraints on control: factors influencing reproductive success in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) (2005, positive): “, 1999; Tutin, 1979), and the impact of female mate choice (Paul, 2002) and sperm competition, with these latter factors now appearing to be more important than previously thought (Dixson, 1998; Soltis et al.”
