Agrochemicals disrupt multiple endocrine axes in amphibians
2020, Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Mate choice is conditional, and a large body of evidence shows that higher quality females show a stronger preference for attractive traits in males (Cotton et al., 2006). For example, larger female Hyperolius marmoratus (African reed frogs) show a stronger preference for low-pitched male calls (Jennions et al., 1995). Female crickets on a high-quality diet show stronger preference for high call rate and responded faster to playbacks with typically preferred features (Hunt et al., 2005).
Temperature variations affect postcopulatory but not precopulatory sexual selection in the cigarette beetle
2018, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :We note that male and female body sizes were not measured in this study. Although male and female body sizes often affect their fitness through pre- and postcopulatory sexual selection (Andersson, 1994; Jennions, Backwell, & Passmore, 1995; Simmons, 2001; Thornhill & Alcock, 1983), a previous study indicated that neither male nor female body size is associated with either pre- or postcopulatory sexual selection in L. serricorne (Katsuki et al., 2017). All statistical analyses were performed using JMP version 11 (SAS Institute, 2013).
All's well that begins Wells: Celebrating 60 years of Animal Behaviour and 36 years of research on anuran social behaviour
2013, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :We know next to nothing about the magnitude of additive genetic variance and the potential for gene × environment interactions underlying the expression of signals and preferences. As an upper-bound estimate of heritability, several studies have measured the ‘repeatability’ (sensu Boake 1989) of male calling performance (reviewed in Gerhardt & Huber 2002), but we generally still lack equivalent data on female preferences (e.g. Jennions et al. 1995). To our knowledge there are no published data from quantitative genetic studies estimating the actual heritabilities of male calling behaviours and female mating preferences.
Taking the sensory approach: How individual differences in sensory perception can influence mate choice
2012, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Quality matching in mating pairs is an example of assortative mating. Female midwife toads, Alytes mulentensis (Lea et al. 2000), cricket frogs, Acris crepitans (Ryan et al. 1992) and African painted reed frogs, Hyperolius marmoratus (Jennions et al. 1995) have size-dependent preferences that result in larger, more fecund females preferring larger, more fecund males. In anurans, body size is negatively correlated with the dominant frequency of a frog's advertisement call and the best excitatory frequency of the basilar papilla (Ryan 1980).
