Plumage brightness predicts male mating success in the lekking golden-collared manakin, Manacus vitellinus
The evolution of colorful plumage has been dramatic in lekking species. Several studies
show that the size of colorful traits influence female choice in leks; however, relatively little is …

Different traits affect gain of extrapair paternity and loss of paternity in the pied flycatcher, Ficedula hypoleuca
PK Lehtonen, CR Primmer, T Laaksonen - Animal Behaviour, 2009 - Elsevier
Extrapair paternity may create marked variation in the reproductive success of males and
thus contribute to the evolution of sexually selected traits in socially monogamous mating …
