Sexually dimorphic role of oxytocin in medaka mate choice
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance In some monogamous species, the oxytocin system facilitates mating preference for a familiar individual, irrespective of sex. In contrast, in nonmonogamous species, the mating strategy mostly differs between males and females; males tend to ...

Mate Choice Drives Evolutionary Stability in a Hybrid Complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Previous studies have shown that assortative mating acts as a driver of speciation by countering hybridization between two populations of the same species (pre-zygotic isolation) or through mate choice among the hybrids (hybrid speciation).

Quantifying male and female pheromone-based mate choice in Caenorhabditis nematodes using a novel microfluidic technique. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Pheromone cues are an important component of intersexual communication, particularly in regards to mate choice. Caenorhabditis nematodes predominant rely on pheromone production for mate finding and mate choice.

Voice pitch preferences of adolescents: Do changes across time indicate a shift towards potentially adaptive adult-like preferences? [PDF]
, 2013 An evolutionary approach to attractiveness judgments emphasises that many human trait preferences exist in order to assist adaptive mate choice. Here we test an adaptive development hypothesis, whereby voice pitch preferences indicating potential mate ...

Same-sex gaze attraction influences mate-choice copying in humans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Mate-choice copying occurs when animals rely on the mating choices of others to inform their own mating decisions. The proximate mechanisms underlying mate-choice copying remain unknown.

Face and voice attractiveness judgments change during adolescence [PDF]
, 2009 Attractivenessjudgments are thought to underpin adaptive mate choice decisions. We investigated how these judgmentschange during adolescence when mate choice is becoming relevant.

Female Mate Choice is Influenced by Male Sport Participation [PDF]
, 2008 Sexual selection theory argues that females invest more heavily in reproduction than males and thus tend to be choosier in terms of mate choice. Sport may provide a context within which females can gain information about male quality to inform this ...

Mate choice in a changing world
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2019 Human activities by altering environmental conditions are influencing the mate choice of animals. This is by impacts on: (i) the production and expression of traits evaluated by mate choosers; (ii) the transmission of information about potential mates to

Do female association preferences predict the likelihood of reproduction? [PDF]
, 2010 Sexual selection acting on male traits through female mate choice is commonly inferred from female association preferences in dichotomous mate choice experiments.
