Why pair? Evidence of aggregative mating in a socially monogamous marine fish (Siganus doliatus, Siganidae) by Fox, Rebecca J., Bellwood, David R., Jennions, Michael D.

“…Many species live in stable pairs, usually to breed and raise offspring together, but this cannot be assumed. Establishing whether pairing is based on mating,…”

Foraging microhabitat preferences of invertivorous fishes within tropical macroalgal meadows: identification of canopy specialists by Chen, Yi-Yang, Jennions, Michael, Fox, Rebecca J.

Male age alone predicts paternity success under sperm competition when effects of age and past mating effort are experimentally separated by Aich, Upama, Head, Megan L, Fox, Rebecca J, Jennions, Michael D

“…Older males often perform poorly under post-copulatory sexual selection. It is unclear, however, whether reproductive senescence is because of male age itself…”

An experimental test to separate the effects of male age and mating history on female mate choice by Aich, Upama, Bonnet, Timothee, Fox, Rebecca J, Jennions, Michael D

The effects of male age, sperm age and mating history on ejaculate senescence by Vega‐Trejo, Regina, Fox, Rebecca J., Iglesias‐Carrasco, Maider, Head, Megan L., Jennions, Michael D., Priest, Nick

“…In polyandrous species, a male’s reproductive success depends on his ability to fertilize females, which, in turn, depends on his mating ability and his…”

Effects of past mating behavior versus past ejaculation on male mate choice and male attractiveness by Chung, Meng-Han Joseph, Head, Megan L, Fox, Rebecca J, Jennions, Michael D

“…Abstract Past reproductive effort allows males to assess their ability to acquire mates, but it also consumes resources that can reduce their future…”
