Examples

“If, in fact, in L. funebris there is no sex marker on the song elements themselves, then a young bird must be able to sex its tutor. The same is true if the individuals were predisposed to produce the total vocabulary of any population, or of both sexes in their own population, and then under experience had to suppress a sex-specific subset of that repertoire [7]. It seems unrealistic to assume the reverse, that a parent bird can sex by some hidden cues newly hatched sexually monomorphic offspring and direct its own vocabulary to consexual young only.”

“Experimental Protocol. We could not test all 48 salamanders simultaneously, so we randomly assigned salamanders to consexual pairs for testing and subsequent statistical comparison. Within a pair, one salamander was randomly assigned to the snake-soiled water treatment and the other to the unsoiled water treatment.”

“We examined male signaling in a consexual context in two types of experiments. In the MI experiment, males were exposed to their mirror images (only visual cues) and in the MM experiment, males were exposed to real size-matched male opponents. We found overall similar display rates (DE, PU, HN) for both consexual experiments, which confirms the earlier finding that Anolis lizards use visual rather than chemical signals during social interactions (Jenssen 1977; Fleishman 1992; Jenssen et al. 1995; Forster et al. 2005). We further observed that A. sagrei males increased their PU frequency, but not their DE and HN rate during staged consexual interactions.”

“it has also been demonstrated that extracts from drone mandibular glands (DMG) or groups of live drones can attract other flying drones within apiaries (Lensky et al. 1985) and non-flying ambulating drones (Brandstaetter et al. 2014), suggesting an alternate chemically mediated mechanism for the formation and/or maintenance of DCAs and drone consexual attraction.”

“Trees are polygamodioecious: There are male, female, and consexual trees. […] The species (Garcinia indica) has a very complex sexual system. Rawat and Bhatnagar (2005) considered this species as gynodioecious, whereas Rajasekharan and Ganeshan (2002) described it as polygamodioecious. Progenies of kokum raised from seeds segregate in the ratio: 37 males: 55 females: 8 consexual (Thatte and Deodhar 2012). Furthermore, male flowers are either pure males or with a pistillode; female flowers are either pure female or with staminodes (Bhaskaran and Krishnan 2012).”
