Male rainbow darters (Etheostoma caeruleum) prefer larger conspecific females.

Behavioural processes - 1 Jan 2020

Abstract excerpt

Female mate choice is a well studied mechanism of sexual selection that can affect the evolution of male secondary sexual traits. However, males also exhibit selective mate choice in some animals, which can affect the evolution of female phenotypes. We tested for evidence of intraspecific male mate choice in the Rainbow Darter (Percidae: Etheostoma caeruleum). Males of numerous darter species have been shown to...
