Evidence for differential assortative female preference in association with refugial isolation of rainbow skinks in Australia's tropical rainforests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Divergence driven by female preference can give rise to pre-mating isolation more rapidly than post-mating isolation can evolve through the accumulation of allelic incompatibilities.

Assortative Mating in Animals [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2013 Assortative mating occurs when there is a correlation (positive or negative) between male and female phenotypes or genotypes across mated pairs. To determine the typical strength and direction of assortative mating in animals, we carried out a meta-analysis of published measures of assortative mating for a variety of phenotypic and genotypic traits in ...

Assortative mating for obesity [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2007 Assortative mating is the nonrandom mating of individuals with respect to phenotype and cultural factors. Previous studies of assortative mating for obesity have indicated that it may have contributed to the obesity epidemic. However, those studies all used body mass index or skinfold thicknesses to measure obesity and did not always account for ...
