Male size does not correlate with fertilization success in two bufonid toads that show size-assortative mating

Current Zoology, 2013
We examined sexual size dimorphism (SSD), mating pattern, fertilization efficiency and female reproductive traits in two bufonid toads (Bufo gargarizans and Duttaphrynus melanostictus) to test the idea that importance of male body size for egg ...

A new method for ecologists to estimate heterozygote excess and deficit for multi‐locus gene families

Ecology and Evolution
The fixation index, FIS, has been a staple measure to detect selection, or departures from random mating in populations. However, current Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) cannot easily estimate FIS, in multi‐locus gene families that contain multiple loci

Assortative Mating and Earnings Inequality in France

, 2017
This paper analyzes economic assortative mating and its contribution to inequality in France. We first provide descriptive evidence on the statistical association in several socio-economic attributes of partners among French couples (annual earnings ...

Dating Preferences and Meeting Opportunities in Mate Choice Decisions [PDF]

Much empirical evidence shows that female and male partners look alike along a variety of attributes. It is however unclear how this positive sorting comes about, because marriage is an equilibrium outcome arising from a process that entails searching ...
