Males discriminate between substrate-borne cues of conspecific females based on age and mating status in the jumping spider, Habronattus brunneus
Sexual selection is often studied with a focus on female mate choice, wherein females
evaluate male signals to select an optimal mate. However, in some systems, males should …

Seasonal variation in cuckoldry rates in the socially monogamous cichlid fish Variabilichromis moorii
Mating patterns in animal populations can respond to environmental conditions and
consequently vary across time. To examine this variation in nature, studies must include …
