Plasticity in mating decisions has been found to be related not only to female reproductive stage, but also to female condition (Burley and Foster, 2006;Eraly et al, 2009;Fisher and Rosenthal, 2006;Fawcett and Johnstone, 2003a;Moskalik and Uetz, 2011;Poulin, 1994;Slagsvold et al, 1988), to age (Bateman et al, 2001;Kodric-Brown and Nicoletto, 2001;Moore and Moore, 2001), and to ecological (Booksmythe et al, 2008;Chaine and Lyon, 2008;Forsgren, 1992;Godin and Briggs, 1996;Gong and Gibson, 1996;Milner et al, 2010) and social conditions (Bailey andZuk, 2008, 2009;Collins, 1995;Hebets, 2003;Izzo and Gray, 2011;Lehmann, 2007;Rebar et al, 2011;Wagner et al, 2001).
