BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Research on the evolution of reproductive isolation in African cichlid fishes has largely focussed on the role of male colours and female mate choice. Here, we tested predictions from the hypothesis that allopatric divergence in male colour is

Size-assortative mating in the absence of mate choice [PDF]
, 2009 Size-assortative mating is one of the most common mating patterns in nature. Nevertheless, the underlying behavioural mechanisms have received little attention.

Educational and age assortative mating in China: The importance of marriage order
Demographic Research, 2019 Background: Family change in China is characterized by increasing divorce rates and a growing number of remarriages, like in many Western countries. Assortative mating is a crucial part of the institution of (re)marriage and plays a key role in the (re ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Mating behavior can play a key role in speciation by inhibiting or facilitating gene flow between closely related taxa. Hybrid zones facilitate a direct examination of mating behavior and the traits involved in establishing species barriers.

Evolution of assortative mating in a population expressing dominance [PDF]
, 2011 In this article, we study the influence of dominance on the evolution of assortative mating. We perform a population-genetic analysis of a two-locus two-allele model.

Social Structure and Personality Assortment Among Married Couples [PDF]
, 2006 We study the influence of social structure on assortative mating for personality in a large national sample (n=3616) of married and cohabitating couples in the Netherlands.

A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies [PDF]
, 2002 Engqvist L, Sauer KP. A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies. Behavioral Ecology. 2002;13(5):632-636.In species with high male mating effort, there is a trade-off between mating effort spent in a current mating and ...

Educational constraints on marital sorting and income mobility.
PLoS ONEThis paper examines the effect of educational assortative mating on overall income mobility in terms of both inter- and intragenerational mobility. In recent years, educational assortative mating has become a trend in China, and this marital sorting ...

Mate Choice Drives Evolutionary Stability in a Hybrid Complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Previous studies have shown that assortative mating acts as a driver of speciation by countering hybridization between two populations of the same species (pre-zygotic isolation) or through mate choice among the hybrids (hybrid speciation).

Assortative mating between European corn borer pheromone races: beyond assortative meeting. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: Sex pheromone communication systems may be a major force driving moth speciation by causing behavioral reproductive isolation via assortative meeting of conspecific individuals. The 'E' and 'Z' pheromone races of the European corn borer (ECB)
