Disruptive sexual selection on male nuptial coloration in an experimental hybrid population of cichlid fish (2008)
Journal Article
Seehausen, O., van der Sluijs, I., Pierotti, M. E. R., Stelkens, R. B., Smith, A. M., & Joyce, D. A. (2008). Disruptive sexual selection on male nuptial coloration in an experimental hybrid population of cichlid fish. Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 363(1505), 2861-2870. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2008.0049

Theory suggests that genetic polymorphisms in female mating preferences may cause disruptive selection on male traits, facilitating phenotypic differentiation despite gene flow, as in reinforcement or other models of speciation with gene flow. Very l... Read More about Disruptive sexual selection on male nuptial coloration in an experimental hybrid population of cichlid fish.

Indirect mate choice, direct mate choice and species recognition in a bower-building cichlid fish lek (2008)
Journal Article
Genner, M. J., Young, K. A., Haesler, M. P., & Joyce, D. A. (2008). Indirect mate choice, direct mate choice and species recognition in a bower-building cichlid fish lek. Journal of evolutionary biology, 21(5), 1387-1396. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2008.01558.x

Sexual selection arising through female mate choice typically favours males with larger, brighter and louder signals. A critical challenge in sexual selection research is to determine the degree to which this pattern results from direct mate choice,...
