Sequential female assessment drives complex sexual selection on bower shape in a cichlid fish (2010)
Journal Article
Young, K. A., Genner, M. J., Haesler, M. P., & Joyce, D. A. (2010). Sequential female assessment drives complex sexual selection on bower shape in a cichlid fish. Evolution, 64(8), 2246-2253. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1558-5646.2010.00984.x

In many animals, sexual selection on male traits results from female mate choice decisions made during a sequence of courtship behaviors. We use a bower-building cichlid fish, Nyassachromis cf. microcephalus, to show how applying standard selection a...
