Alternative mechanisms of nonindependent mate choice
Article Abstract:
Mate choices can vary between and within populations. Mechanisms that result in nonindependent choice are examined. This provides hints that nonindependent choice may be more significant in other contexts than previously thought.

Sex of opponent influences response to a potential status signal in house sparrows
Article Abstract:
The possible use of a sexually dimorphic plumage trait as a signal in inter and intrasexual social interactions in free-living house sparrows is evaluated. The bib of male house sparrows indicates a signal of status, but that in interactions with females, the bib may also have other functions.
