人们普遍认为雄性动物经常表现出奢侈的特征，如长尾巴、鲜艳的颜色或听觉表演。在过去的几十年里，从选择利益的角度解释这些特征的存在一直是行为生态学的一个重要焦点，我们现在有一个广泛而成功的理论和观察体系来处理雄性动物的这些特征（Andersson, 1994）。女性拥有类似的奢侈特征并不罕见，但直到最近，这些通常被简单地解释为与男性性选择特征的遗传相关性的结果（Lande, 1980; Amundsen, 2000），除了那些存在明显性别角色逆转的情况（Andersson, 1994, 2000）。最近的研究表明，除了这些情况之外，在没有性别角色转换的系统中，具有奢侈特征的女性可能具有选择优势。例如，在双斑虾虎鱼（Gobiusculus flavescens）中，当雄性与腹部颜色更鲜艳的雌性在一起时，雄性会表现出更多的求偶行为，这表明该物种中雌性的装饰与雄性择偶有关（Amundsen和Forsgren, 2001；另见Amundsen[2000]关于鸟类的例子，以及Bonduriansky[2001]关于昆虫中雄性选择的综述）。饰品的
It is widely recognized that male animals frequently exhibit extravagant traits such as long tails, bright coloration, or aural displays. Explaining the presence of these traits in terms of their selective benefit has been an important focus of behavioral ecology over the last few decades, and we now have a broad and successful body of theory and observation dealing with these features of male animals (Andersson, 1994). The possession of similar extravagant traits by females is by no means uncommon, but until recently these have generally been interpreted simply as the consequence of genetic correlations with the sexually selected traits of males (Lande, 1980; Amundsen, 2000) except in those cases where there is clear sex-role reversal (Andersson, 1994, 2000). Recent work has demonstrated that, in addition to these cases, there may be selective advantages for females with extravagant traits in systems without sex-role reversal. In the two-spotted goby, for example, Gobiusculus flavescens, males perform more courtship displays when presented with females with more brightly colored bellies, indicating that female ornamentation in this species is associated with male mate choice (Amundsen and Forsgren, 2001; see also Amundsen [2000] for examples from birds and Bonduriansky [2001] for a review of male choice in insects).
