The importance of novelty: male-female interactions among blue-black grassquits in captivity.

Behavioural processes - 1 Mar 2014

Dias Raphael I, Oliveira Rui F, Podos Jeffrey, Macedo Regina H

Abstract excerpt

Mate choice is a primary mechanism driving the evolution of sexually selected traits such as elaborate displays and ornaments. In a majority of taxa studied to date, females are seen to actively sample and evaluate multiple males, presumably to optimize mating opportunities. During this process females may encounter males both familiar and novel, a distinction that might influence how mate choice proceeds. Using...
