The effect of recent experience on female choice in zebra finches
Article Abstract:
A study of the mating behavior of female zebra finches showed that recent experience and male display behavior influenced female choice. Experiments showed that females preferred males with high display rate and increased their preference for this group after exposure to males with low display rate, while females which were exposed to new males did not change their preferences. The results suggest that female mate choice was determined by male display and the amount of experience they received.
