ArticleIzzo, Amanda S.During mate selection, females of most species encounter males sequentially and may use a variety of decision rules whereby the attractiveness of a current potential mate is affected by sampling of previous individuals. The perceived distribution of m . . .

ArticleBanuelos, ChristinaTightly coupled evolutionary associations between parasites and their hosts are well known. What is less well characterized is the behavioural specialization of parasites that exploit different hosts in different parts of the parasite's geographical r . . .

ArticlePaur, JenniferSearch images are expected to be important components of predator and parasitoid search strategies as they reduce the search time for prey and hosts. Fixed search images, however, may constrain predators and parasitoids, and render them ineffective at . . .

ArticleHagelin, Julie C.Male common grackles,Quiscalus quiscula, sing one song type each, yet females prefer multiple songs. A pre-existing sensory bias explanation has been proposed to account for these results. Using phylogenetic analysis and published behavioural studies, . . .

ArticleEspinoza, Robert E.Aggregating has been widely studied in a variety of animals and found to have important benefits in terms of sociality, courtship, predator avoidance and physiology. Several species of nocturnal geckos form diurnal aggregations; however, little is kno . . .

ArticleEckhardt, GillianFemales of the Texas trilling field cricket, Gryllus texensis, show mating preferences based on male courtship song. To test experimentally the condition dependence of courtship song, we attempted to manipulate male condition via the diet. When the di . . .

ArticleSakaguchi, Kelly M.Specialization by predators, parasites and parasitoids is often viewed as adaptive because specialization will usually increase search efficiency for suitable hosts (prey). Although many studies have documented interspecific variation in the degree of . . .

ArticleGray, David A.This study demonstrates that invertebrate acoustic signals can provide information about male phenotypic attributes, and that females can use this acoustic information in mate choice to select a phenotypically superior mate. I investigated the relatio . . .
