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.

To the bottom of genetic assortative mating: a genetic investigation of what drives mate choice within two present day European populations [PDF]
, 2023 openThe choice of mating partner is a topic which has been an object of both biological and sociological interest. Although much research has been done on the basis of phenotype data, the age of next generation sequencing together with genome-wide ...

Scrutinizing assortative mating in birds.
PLoS Biology, 2019 It is often claimed that pair bonds preferentially form between individuals that resemble one another. Such assortative mating appears to be widespread throughout the animal kingdom.

Choosing mates based on the diet of your ancestors: replication of non-genetic assortative mating in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Assortative mating has been a focus of considerable research because of its potential to influence biodiversity at many scales. Sharon et al. (2010) discovered that an inbred strain of Drosophila melanogaster mated assortatively based on the diet of ...

Genetic gain and inbreeding from simulation of different genomic mating schemes for pig improvement
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023 Background Genomic selection involves choosing as parents those elite individuals with the higher genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) to accelerate the speed of genetic improvement in domestic animals.

‘Prudent habitat choice’: a novel mechanism of size-assortative mating [PDF]
, 2014 Assortative mating, an ubiquitous form of nonrandom mating, strongly impacts Darwinian fitness and can drive biological diversification. Despite its ecological and evolutionary importance, the behavioural processes underlying assortative mating are often

Assortative mating in fallow deer reduces the strength of sexual selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Assortative mating can help explain how genetic variation for male quality is maintained even in highly polygynous species. Here, we present a longitudinal study examining how female and male ages, as well as male social dominance, affect assortative ...
