摘要：

How animals search for and evaluate prospective mates has, until recently, been a neglected aspect of sexual selection. Theory and field data suggest that discrimination varies with the costs and benefits of choice, but a consensus has yet to be reached on the tactics by which prospective mates are evaluated. This intriguing issue may be clarified by new studies that deal explicitly with the process of information acquisition.
