Mutual Mate Choice

open access: yes, 2017
This chapter introduces another important constraint on mate choice; namely, that choosers are the object of choice themselves. It focuses on the mechanisms underlying mutual mate choice, notably how preferences are dynamically adjusted in light of the ...

Mate Choice Copying in Humans

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 Copying and Nonindependent Mate Choice: A Critical Review

Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2011
The 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, 1998
Incipient 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

Selection on Mate Choice and Mating Preferences

2017
This chapter focuses on the proximate sources of selection on chooser preferences and mate-choice algorithms. It surveys the sources of selection on the outcome of choice, and then turns to the evolution of mate-searching strategies and choosiness. Next, it examines at what point in the process choosers make choices. Should choosers reject matings from

Mate Choice During and After Mating

2017
Just as choosers need to sample multiple courters to exercise premating choice, they also need to mate with multiple courters (i.e., be promiscuous) in order to exercise cryptic choice. This chapter focuses on peri-and postmating choice, starting with intimate interactions when individuals are mating or about to mate, and continuing through ...

Euclidean Mate Value and Power of Choice on the Mating Market

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2017
Three studies tested the hypothesis that human mate choice psychology uses a Euclidean algorithm to integrate mate preferences into estimates of mate value. In Study 1, a series of agent-based models identify a pattern of results relatively unique to mating markets where individuals high in Euclidean mate value experience greater power of choice ...

The evolution of postpairing male mate choice: POSTPAIRING MALE MATE CHOICE

2017
An increasing number of empirical studies in animals have demonstrated male mate choice. However, little is known about the evolution of postpairing male choice, specifically which occurs by differential allocation of male parental care in response to female signals. We use a population genetic model to examine whether such postpairing male mate choice
