Evolution of human mate choice [PDF]
Journal of Sex Research, 2004 This article provides a review of evolutionary theory and empirical research on mate choices in nonhuman species and uses it as a frame for understanding the how and why of human mate choices. The basic principle is that the preferred mate choices and attendant social cognitions and behaviors of both women and men, and those of other species, have ...

Sex-Specific Audience Effect in the Context of Mate Choice in Zebra Finches. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Animals observing conspecifics during mate choice can gain additional information about potential mates. However, the presence of an observer, if detected by the observed individuals, can influence the nature of the behavior of the observed individuals ...

Female mating preferences in blind cave tetras Astyanax fasciatus (Characidae, Teleostei). [PDF]
, 2006 The Mexican tetra Astyanax fasciatus has evolved a variety of more or less color- and eyeless cave populations. Here we examined the evolution of the female preference for large male body size within different populations of this species, either surface-
