Male sexually coercive behaviour drives increased swimming efficiency in female guppies [PDF]
, 2015 Sexual coercion of females by males is widespread across sexually reproducing species. It stems from a conflict of interest over reproduction and exerts selective pressure on both sexes.

Predation risk reduces a female preference for heterospecific males in the green swordtail [PDF]
, 2016 The presence of a predator can result in the alteration, loss or reversal of a mating preference. Under predation risk, females often change their initial preference for conspicuous males, favouring less flashy males to reduce the risk of being detected ...

Dynamic social networks in guppies (Poecilia reticulata) [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2014 One of the main challenges in the study of social networks in vertebrates is to close the gap between group patterns and dynamics. Usually scan samples or transect data are recorded to provide information about social patterns of animals, but these techniques themselves do not shed much light on the underlying dynamics of such groups.

A further cost for the sicker sex? Evidence for male-biased parasite-induced vulnerability to predation [PDF]
, 2016 Males are typically the sicker sex. Data from multiple taxa indicate that they are more likely to be infected with parasites, and are less ‘tolerant’, or less able to mitigate the fitness costs of a given infection, than females.
