Evolution of Divergent Female Mating Preference in Response to Experimental Sexual Selection [PDF]
, 2014 Sexual selection is predicted to drive the coevolution of mating signals and preferences (mating traits) within populations, and could play a role in speciation if sexual isolation arises due to mating trait divergence between populations. However, few

The costs and benefits of multiple mating in a mostly monandrous wasp [PDF]
, 2015 Funding: NERC DTGThe taxonomically widespread nature of polyandry remains a puzzle. Much of the empirical work regarding the costs and benefits of multiple mating to females has, for obvious reasons, relied on species that are already highly polyandrous.

Newborn Interneurons in the Accessory Olfactory Bulb Promote Mate Recognition in Female Mice
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 In the olfactory bulb of adult rodents, local interneurons are constantly replaced by immature precursors derived from the subventricular zone. Whether any olfactory sensory process specifically relies on this cell renewal remains largely unclear.
