    School of Biology, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4HH, UK
    Proc Biol Sci 271:S270-2. 2004
    ..This heightened allure could be an adaptive mechanism for raising a female's relative value in the mating market at the time in the cycle when the probability of conception is at its highest...
  2. ncbi Complexity and context of MHC-correlated mating preferences in wild populations
    S Craig Roberts
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK
    Mol Ecol 18:3121-3. 2009

    S C Roberts
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK
    J Evol Biol 19:558-69. 2006
    ..The inter-relationship between these measures of genetic quality also carries implications for the way in which mate choice studies are designed and interpreted, and generates predictions that can be tested in future research...

    S Craig Roberts
    Evolutionary Biology Group, SCMS, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK
    Proc Biol Sci 275:2715-22. 2008
