Sex differences in response to nonconspecific advertisement calls: receiver permissiveness in male and female túngara frogs
2007, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Males responding to the experimental stimuli called antiphonally with the heterospecific/ancestral calls as they do when interacting acoustically with other males in nature (Greenfield & Rand 2000). We use the evoked vocal responses as an indicator of call recognition, a common approach in anurans (e.g. Ryan & Rand 1998; Bee 2003). Here we evaluated the calling response to nonconspecific calls in male túngara frogs and assumed that if a signal elicited a response from a male, he mistakenly identified the stimulus as a conspecific call.
Sexual Conflict and the Evolution of Breeding Systems in Shorebirds
2007, Advances in the Study of BehaviorCitation Excerpt :The conflict over mating optima can drive rapid evolutionary change. According to the “chase‐away” model, preexisting sensory bias (Basolo, 1990, 1995; Ryan and Rand, 1998) in females selects for some form of display trait that enhances male attractiveness (Holland and Rice, 1998). The female response to the most attractive males is to mate in a suboptimal manner, for example by increasing their mating rate.
