Color polymorphism and mating trends in a population of the alpine leaf beetle Oreina gloriosa.
PLoS ONEThe bright colors of Alpine leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) are thought to act as aposematic signals against predation. Within the European Alps, at least six species display a basal color of either blue or green, likely configuring a classic ...

Evolutionary Psychology, 2004 Theoretical studies suggest that mating and pair formation is not likely to be random. Computer simulations suggested that sex among genetically complex organisms requires mate choice strategies for its evolutionary maintenance, to reduce excessive ...

Assortative Mating and the Adaptive Landscape [PDF]
Evolution, 1994 The ability of a population to shift from one adaptive peak to another was examined for a two-locus model with different degrees of assortative mating, selection, and linkage. As expected, if the proportion of the population that mates assortatively increases, so does its ability to shift to a new peak.

Bias in Mendelian randomization due to assortative mating
Genetic Epidemiology, 2018 Mendelian randomization (MR) has been increasingly used to strengthen causal inference in observational epidemiology. Methodological developments in the field allow detecting and/or adjusting for different potential sources of bias, mainly bias due to ...

Current Zoology, 2012 The term 'assortative mating' has been applied to describe two very different phenomena: (1) the tendency for individuals to choose phenotypically similar mates from among conspecifics; or (2) the tendency to prefer conspecific over hete- rospecific ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Assortative mating patterns for mate quality traits like body size are often observed in nature. However, the underlying mechanisms that cause assortative mating patterns are less well known.

Genetic dissection of assortative mating behavior
bioRxiv, 2018 The evolution of new species is made easier when traits under divergent ecological selection are also mating cues. Such ecological mating cues are now considered more common than previously thought, but we still know little about the genetic changes ...

Targeting online sales through last‐mile delivery platform integration
Journal of Operations Management, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 195-219, March 2025.Abstract We analyze channel integration between a last‐mile delivery platform and a general merchandise retailer in two distinct stages: (1) platform delivery access (PDA), where the retailer continues to offer standard delivery through its own website but directs customers to the platform's website for new same‐day delivery; and (2) integrated ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background A major challenge in evolutionary biology is to understand the typically complex interactions between diverse counter-balancing factors of Darwinian selection for size assortative mating and sexual size dimorphism.
