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 for Emotional Intelligence [PDF]
Current Psychology, 2016 Assortative mating has been studied on a broad range of variables, including intelligence and personality traits. In the present study we analysed the effect of assortative mating for ability emotional intelligence (EI) on a sample of heterosexual couples (N = 382), including dating and married couples. Correlation analyses revealed moderate similarity

Sampling scale can cause bias in positive assortative mating estimates: The first evidence in two intertidal snails [PDF]
, 2016 Assortative mating in the wild is commonly estimated by correlating between traits in mating pairs (e.g. size of males and females). Unfortunately such an approach may suffer from considerable sampling bias when the distribution of different expressions ...
