Experimental demonstration of possible cryptic female choice on male tsetse fly genitalia
(J. Insect Physiol. 2009 Nov; 55(11): 989-996, 2009)
A possible explanation for one of the most general trends in animal evolution – rapid divergent evolution
of animal genitalia – is that male genitalia are used as courtship devices that influence cryptic female
choice. ...
Influence of Female Age on Variation of Mate Choice Behavior in Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2011)
In spite of the fact that studies concerning the mate choice by females
have largely been based on the idea of the unanimity of the preference for certain
male characteristics, variations in this behavior have been reported. ...
Female pintado catfish choose well-fed males

Female mate choice by chemical signals in a semi-terrestrial crab
(Elsevier Science, 2014-05)
Information about the roles of both sexes in pair formation is required to better understand the mechanisms involved in sexual selection. Mate choice could depend on the courtship behavior, involving chemical, tactile and ...
Lack of phonotactic preferences of female frogs and its consequences for signal evolution
(Elsevier, 2015)
Sexual selection is one of the main evolutionary forces that drive signal evolution. In previous studies, we have found out that males of Pleurodema thaul, a frog with an extensive latitudinal distribution in Chile, emits ...
Females of the four-eyed frog, pleurodema thaul (Anura, Leptodactylidae), respond behaviourally to conspecific male scent
(Pensoft, 2021)
Among amphibians, conspecific chemical communication has been widely studied in Caudata. Adult anurans, by contrast, have received less attention. Recently, it was shown that chemical scents are also relevant for adult ...
Males choose to keep their heads: preference for lower risk females in a praying mantid
(Elsevier Science, 2016-06)
Male reproductive success is obviously mate limited, which implies that males should rarely be choosy. One extreme case of a reproductive (or mating) cost is sexual cannibalism. Recent research has proposed that male mantids ...
