Variation in sexual dimorphism and assortative mating do not predict genetic divergence in the sexually dimorphic Goodeid fish Girardinichthys multiradiatus [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2012 Sexual dimorphism is often used as a proxy for the intensity of sexual selection in comparative studies of sexual selection and diversification. The Mexican Goodeinae are a group of livebearing freshwater fishes with large variation between species in ...

Assortative Mating on Ancestry-Variant Traits in Admixed Latin American Populations
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Assortative mating is a universal feature of human societies, and individuals from ethnically diverse populations are known to mate assortatively based on similarities in genetic ancestry. However, little is currently known regarding the exact phenotypic

The Effect of Assortative Mating on Wealth Inequality, why do the Rich Choose the Rich? [PDF]
Annals of Dunarea de Jos University. Fascicle I : Economics and Applied Informatics, 2023 This paper unravels the effect of assortative mating on wealth inequality. In light of the reviewed literature, it is concluded that there is a significant effect of assortative mating on wealth inequality, it is mainly driven by similarity in background
