Mate Choice and Mating Preferences:
2017This chapter first sets out the book's purpose, which is to present a conceptually unified approach to thinking about what Darwin termed the “taste for the beautiful.” It begins by describing a basic framework for thinking about mate choice and mate preferences.

Abstract He returns to Union in the fall of 1936, ready to ascend to greatness. He becomes a regular on the YMCA lecture circuit, works with Harry Bone, and begins a long intellectual apprenticeship with Paul Tillich. At the same time, he leads a somewhat tortured love life as he sought passion but also a mate who would make the perfect ...

Stress hormones and mate choice
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008A few recent studies have suggested that glucocorticoid stress hormones can play a role in sexual selection. In terms of mate choice, these studies have shown that individuals can exhibit preferences for mates with either low baseline or peak glucocorticoid levels.

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 1998
Evolutionary psychology has revolutionized research on human mate choice and sexual attraction in recent years, combining a rigorous Darwinian framework based on sexual selection theory with a loosely cognitivist orientation to task analysis and mechanism modelling.

The Quarterly Review of Biology, 2009
Studies of mate choice in vertebrates have focused principally on birds, in which male ornaments are often highly developed, and have shown that females commonly select mates on the basis of particular phenotypic characteristics that may reflect their genetic quality.

Modeling Mate Choice in Monogamous Mating Systems with Courtship
Adaptive Behavior, 2002We present a conceptual framework for the study of mate choice in monogamous mating systems with non-negligible courtship time. Within this framework, we develop a mate choice model for the common case where individuals have a changing social network of potential partners.

Human Nature, 2007
There is substantial evidence that in human mate choice, females directly select males based on male display of both physical and behavioral traits. In non-humans, there is additionally a growing literature on indirect mate choice, such as choice through observing and subsequently copying the mating preferences of conspecifics (mate choice copying ...

Mate choice in males and females
2019To find a “dream mate” is important for fitness in all sexually reproducing animals because half of the genome of one’s offspring comes from the chosen mate. Individuals that choose their mates may gain both direct benefits (ie, care or other resources) and indirect benefits (genes improving offspring viability or attractiveness). Mate choice occurs in

Mate Choice Copying and Nonindependent Mate Choice: A Critical Review
Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2011The past two decades have witnessed an explosion of interest in nonindependent mate choice, i.e. female choice that is influenced by the choices of other females. This research has focused overwhelmingly on mate choice copying, which occurs when a female is more likely to mate with a previously mated male and reject a previously rejected male. I review

DISENTANGLING THE EFFECTS OF MATING PROPENSITY AND MATING CHOICE INDROSOPHILA
Evolution, 1998Incipient sexual isolation between genotypes, lines, or populations of the same species is commonly measured in Drosophila by choice tests. Results of these tests are known to be influenced, in an undetermined manner, by the mating propensity of competitors and by discriminatory factors during courtship. We have approached the problem by measuring male
