The evolution of mate choice and mating biases [PDF]
We review the current status of three well-established models (direct benefits, indirect benefits and sensory drive) and one newcomer (antagonistic chase-away) of the evolution of mate choice and the biases that are expressed during choice. We highlight the differences and commonalities in the underlying genetics and evolutionary dynamics of these ...

Random Mating With a Finite Number of Matings [PDF]
Abstract Random mating is the null model central to population genetics. One assumption behind random mating is that individuals mate an infinite number of times. This is obviously unrealistic. Here we show that when each female mates a finite number of times, the effective size of the population is substantially decreased.

Mutual mate choice : when it pays both sexes to avoid inbreeding [PDF]
Theoretical models of sexual selection predict that both males and females of many species should benefit by selecting their mating partners. However, empirical evidence testing and validating this prediction is scarce.

Mate selection preferences in Germany and the United States [PDF]
Two studies examined expressed mate selection preferences in German and American samples. In the first study (German N=343; American N=313), subjects ranked 13 characteristics on their desirability in a potential mate.

A Modified Pressure–Sinkage Model for Studying the Effect of a Hard Layer in Sandy Loam Soil
The applicability of the typical pressure–sinkage models used to characterize the soil’s bearing properties is limited to homogeneous soils (infinite thickness) that have no hard layer. At a given depth, a hard layer can have a considerable impact on the
