As we predicted, female preference for the larger male was best explained by the proportional difference between males, rather than the absolute difference. Cool! Proportional processing occurs during assessment of visual signals!

We presented females with animations of pairs of males (one male at either end of a tank) that differed in size, and quantified mate preference by association time. We tested females on 11 different pairs of males.
