Mate Choice: Been There, Done That [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 Females may benefit from mating with several males, but how can they avoid mating with the same male repeatedly? A new study of crickets has found that females mark their mates to avoid repeat copulations.

An indirect cue of predation risk counteracts female preference for conspecifics in a naturally hybridizing fish Xiphophorus birchmanni. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mate choice is context dependent, but the importance of current context to interspecific mating and hybridization is largely unexplored. An important influence on mate choice is predation risk.

Biology, 2018 Animals often use public information for mate-choice decisions by observing conspecifics as they choose their mates and then copying this witnessed decision.

Pigmentation and mate choice in Drosophila [PDF]
Nature, 2002 Many species of the fruitfly Drosophila are either sexually dimorphic for abdominal pigmentation (the posterior segments in males are black and those of females have thin dark stripes) or sexually monomorphic for this pigmentation (both sexes show striping). Kopp et al.

Coevolution of male and female mate choice can destabilize reproductive isolation
Nature Communications, 2019 Models of mate choice have mainly focused on the implications of female mate choice for reproductive isolation. Here, Aubier et al. develop a population genetic model of coevolution between female and male mate choice, which can lead the population to ...

Deciphering genetic mate choice: Not so simple in group‐housed conservation breeding programs
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Incorporating mate choice into conservation breeding programs can improve reproduction and the retention of natural behaviors. However, different types of genetic‐based mate choice can have varied consequences for genetic diversity management.

The Possible Role of the Uropygial Gland on Mate Choice in Domestic Chicken
International Journal of Zoology, 2011 In avian mating systems, male domestic fowls are polygamous and mate with a number of selected members of the opposite sex. The factors that influence mating preference are considered to be visual cues.

Study on mate choice in animals
Reproduction and BreedingSexual selection is critical to animal reproduction. Mate choice not only determines an individual's capacity for reproduction but is also the primary mode of selection in sexual selection.

Evolution of human mate choice [PDF]
Journal of Sex Research, 2004 This article provides a review of evolutionary theory and empirical research on mate choices in nonhuman species and uses it as a frame for understanding the how and why of human mate choices. The basic principle is that the preferred mate choices and attendant social cognitions and behaviors of both women and men, and those of other species, have ...
