... Many animals use vision to recognize and approach conspecific mates, including horseshoe crabs ( Barlow et al., 1982;Herzog et al., 1996), crustaceans ( Díaz and Thiel, 2004;Murai and Backwell, 2006; Perez et al., 2012;Tsai et al., 2017), stickleback fish (Nordeide, 2002;Pelkwijk and Tinbergen, 1937;Tinbergen, 1948), birds (Cooper and Forshaw, 1977), flies ( Boeddeker et al., 2003;Land and Collett, 1974;Trischler, 2010) and spiders (Clark and Uetz, 1990;Foelix, 2011;Girard et al., 2015). The relevant visual cues used in mating behavior include shape, motion and color. ...

... Aggressive territorial behavior in male threespine stickleback is a traditional research topic that has been studied for many years (Bakker 1986;Huntingford and Ruiz-Gomez 2009;ter Pelkwijk and Tinbergen 1937). In this study, we conducted ecological genetic analyses, including the first QTL mapping of territorial aggression levels in threespine stickleback males, using two Japanese freshwater populations predicted to differ in territorial aggression. ...
