“…Also, no study thus far has ascertained that calling activity signals parental quality in fish as observed in other taxa (e.g. Dolby et al 2005). We can just conclude indirectly from the study by Knapp and Kovach (1991), who demonstrated that the number of courtship dips (dive movements) of male damselfish S. partitus are reliable indicators of male parental quality, that courtship calling may indicate parental quality as well.…”

“…Future work will need to address whether calling rate and effort reflect male parental ability in the Lusitanian toadfish. In birds, call rate and other song features may be reliable indicators of parental quality (Dolby et al, 2005). In our study species, the ability to call at higher rates and to sustain calling for longer periods also reveal, although to a much smaller Significant differences are indicated by asterisks, i.e.…”

“…Sexual selection theory predicts that females should select males based on traits that indicate quality and vary between high-and low-quality males (Zuk et al 1990;Petrie et al 1991;Andersson 1994). Male song traits are often used by females of many song-learning birds to evaluate male quality and directly influence female choice (Dolby et al 2005;Kipper et al 2006;Mennill et al 2006). In the Spot-bellied Bobwhite of our study, females paired chiefly with males that had longer songs.…”

“…Male song types may vary in structural (e.g., number and elements arrangement) and acoustic characteristics (e.g., frequency range) among individuals of the same population (Kroosdma et al 2002;Barrantes et al 2008). Large repertoires and individual song arrays in song-learning birds apparently evolved through sexual selection by intra-sexual competition and female choice (Peek 1972;Smith 1979;Fedy and Stutchbury 2005;Walcott et al 2006), and in many species females assess the quality of their potential mates via song (Capp 1992;Andersson 1994;Goodson and Adkins-Regan 1997;Ballentine et al 2003;King et al 2003;Dolby et al 2005;Garamszegi et al 2005;Hosoi et al 2005;Spencer et al 2005;Tomaszycki and Adkins-Regan 2005;Kipper et al 2006;Ballentine 2009).…”
