Colour preferences in mate choice have evolved from non-sexually based sensory biases in several species [33], [34].
"There was a lot of control by the retiring C.E.O.," and the choice had evolved into a public horse race between two insiders.
When I was a freshman in 1974, my school of choice had evolved from the continent's first Y.M.C.A. into an institution called Sir George Williams University.
A Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) approach examines how the context in which the discourse takes place impacts the language system, or the choices that have evolved to serve our needs (Halliday 1976 , 1994.
The film has real insights to offer: the cast powerfully convey the journalists' horror at realising the abuse stretches back decades or even centuries and also how abuse is as much about power as sex and that homosexuality is beside the point: the abusers have evolved the choice of boy victims because boys are reticent, more likely to swallow their shame and not speak out.
Habitat choice of a bird should have evolved to maximise fitness pay-offs [4] and can be based on, for example, innate preferences [5], previous experience or public information [6].
Partly as a result of such evidence and because ITNs are increasingly viewed as a public good, just like vaccines in children [28], the policies and choices of delivery strategies for ITNs have evolved over the past few years such that there is increasing acceptance that full household population coverage should be sought and any impediments to coverage should be avoided.
Here, we propose that deviations from optimality arise from biological decision mechanisms that have evolved to maximize choice performance within intrinsic biophysical constraints.
Wilkinson et al. (1998) proposed that female mate choice for large male eyespan may have evolved in the stalk-eyed fly as a form of 'good genes' selection.
Together these findings support the idea that the sequential ordering of birdsong carries relevant information during communication which may be directed to female listeners and thus, may have evolved by female choice [ 59].
