Conspicuous female ornamentation and male mate preference of Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Wright, Daniel Shane (East Carolina University, 2012)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments (traits showing little function outside social interactions) in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is ... -
Conspicuous Female Ornamentation and Tests of Male Mate Preference in Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Wright, Daniel Shane; Pierotti, Michele E.R.; Rundle, Howard D.; McKinnon, Jeffrey S. (2015-03-25)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally less well understood. One example is the recently ... -

Genetic Architecture of Conspicuous Red Ornaments in Female Threespine Stickleback
Yong, Lengxob; Peichel, Catherine L.; McKinnon, Jeffrey S. (2016-03)Explaining the presence of conspicuous female ornaments that take the form of male-typical traits has been a longstanding challenge in evolutionary biology. Such female ornaments have been proposed to evolve via both ...
