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 genetic correlation between height and IQ: shared genes or assortative mating? [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2013
Traits that are attractive to the opposite sex are often positively correlated when scaled such that scores increase with attractiveness, and this correlation typically has a genetic component.

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

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.

Size-assortative mating in simultaneous hermaphrodites: an experimental test and a meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Assortative mating by size has been argued to be widespread in the animal kingdom. However, the strength of size-assortative mating is known to vary considerably between species and the underlying mechanisms promoting this inter-specific variation remain

Morphological differentiation may mediate mate-choice between incipient species of Anopheles gambiae s.s.

PLoS ONE, 2011
The M and S molecular forms of Anopheles gambiae s.s. have been considered incipient species for more than ten years, yet the mechanism underlying assortative mating of these incipient species has remained elusive.

Assortative mating for human height: A meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVES: The study of assortative mating for height has a rich history in human biology. Although the positive correlation between the stature of spouses has often been noted in western populations, recent papers suggest that mating patterns for ...
