Females often show a preference for exaggerated male sexual traits or courtship behaviors. Such preferences can benefit females if trait expression is correlated with male genetic quality or phenotypic condition. Previous studies of several Photinus

Adult males of some species of fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are chemically defended and produce bioluminescent courtship signals while flying in search of females. These signals may have positive or negative consequences unrelated to mating. Ea

Mate choice by either sex may vary with changes in the associated costs and benefits, determined by factors such as the availability of potential mates and variation in mate quality. We examined seasonal variation in operational sex ratio, courtship

The phenomenon of nuptial gift transfer during mating occurs across a remarkably wide range of taxa, and such male donations are likely to influence both pre-copulatory and post-copulatory sexual selection. This paper reviews what is known about nupt

SYNOPSIS. The evolution of male courtship signals such as the bioluminescent flashes of fireflies may be shaped, at least in part, by female preference for particular characteristics of the male signal. These female preferences for male courtship sig

In Photinus fireflies, males produce spontaneous bioluminescent courtship flashes. Females preferentially respond to particular male flashes with flashes of their own. This study explored variation in female flash responsiveness as a function of male

Many key advances in our understanding of firefly biology and signaling have been made over the past two decades. Here we review this recent research, which includes new phylogenetic results that shed light on the evolution of courtship signal divers

THE statistics plastered all over the news in recent years portray a national disaster. By comparing figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the National Center for Education Statistics, Michael Leyden make a shocking statement in the March
