Assortative mating and gene flow generate clinal phenological variation in trees
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background On-going climate change is shifting the timing of bud burst (TBB) of broad leaf and conifer trees in temperate areas, raising concerns about the abilities of natural populations to respond to these shifts.

Isolating transdiagnostic effects reveals specific genetic profiles in psychiatric disorders
JCPP Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Background Evidence indicates substantial genetic overlap between psychiatric diagnoses. Accounting for these transdiagnostic effects can sharpen research on disorder‐specific genetic architecture and patterns of comorbidity. Methods We applied genomic structural equation modeling to genome‐wide association study summary statistics from 11 ...

Color polymorphism and mating trends in a population of the alpine leaf beetle Oreina gloriosa.
PLoS ONEThe bright colors of Alpine leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) are thought to act as aposematic signals against predation. Within the European Alps, at least six species display a basal color of either blue or green, likely configuring a classic ...

Evolutionary Psychology, 2004 Theoretical studies suggest that mating and pair formation is not likely to be random. Computer simulations suggested that sex among genetically complex organisms requires mate choice strategies for its evolutionary maintenance, to reduce excessive ...

Targeting online sales through last‐mile delivery platform integration
Journal of Operations Management, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 195-219, March 2025.Abstract We analyze channel integration between a last‐mile delivery platform and a general merchandise retailer in two distinct stages: (1) platform delivery access (PDA), where the retailer continues to offer standard delivery through its own website but directs customers to the platform's website for new same‐day delivery; and (2) integrated ...

Fathers' eye colour sways daughters' choice of both long- and short-term partners [PDF]
, 2018 In several species, mate choice is influenced by parental features through sexual imprinting, but in humans evidence is scarce and open to alternative explanations.

Current Zoology, 2012 The term 'assortative mating' has been applied to describe two very different phenomena: (1) the tendency for individuals to choose phenotypically similar mates from among conspecifics; or (2) the tendency to prefer conspecific over hete- rospecific ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Assortative mating patterns for mate quality traits like body size are often observed in nature. However, the underlying mechanisms that cause assortative mating patterns are less well known.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract The demand for efficient image sorting methods has increased due to technological advancements that enable more intensive phytoplankton monitoring. Both statistical and machine learning algorithms can misidentify algal taxa in taxonomically diverse samples, in which phytoplankton morphology and image traits can vary.

ASSORTATIVE MATING AS A STRATIFICATION PROBLEM IN GENETIC ASSOCIATION STUDIES [PDF]
, 2007 Genetic association studies have an important role in public health because they help us understand the biological basis of conditions (e.g. diabetes, obesity) that have important public health implications.
