Mating order-dependent female mate choice in the polygynandrous common lizard Lacerta vivipara. [PDF]
, 2010 Recent studies indicate that directional female mate choice and order-dependent female mate choice importantly contribute to non-random mating patterns. In species where females prefer larger sized males, disentangling different hypotheses leading to non-

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 ...

Reproductive isolation between two sympatric simultaneous hermaphroditic shrimp, Lysmata wurdemanni and L. boggessi [PDF]
, 2009 To investigate pre- and post-zygotic isolation between two sympatric and phylogenetically related species of Lysmata shrimp, two assays were conducted in the laboratory: (1) no specific mate choice where mating between the two species was ‘forced’; (2 ...

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 1998 Evidence from studies in rodents suggests that mate selection is influenced by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes, with preferences for dissimilar partners. We initiated studies to determine whether avoidance of a mate with the same HLA haplotype as one’s own might be occurring in the Hutterites, a reproductive isolate of European ...

Predator-induced changes of female mating preferences: innate and experiential effects [PDF]
, 2011 Background: In many species males face a higher predation risk than females because males display elaborate traits that evolved under sexual selection, which may attract not only females but also predators. Females are, therefore, predicted to avoid such

Voice pitch modulation in human mate choice
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2018 Inter-individual differences in human fundamental frequency (F0, perceived as voice pitch) predict mate quality and reproductive success, and affect listeners' social attributions.

Female preference for blue in Japan blue guppies (Poecilia reticulata) [PDF]
, 2013 Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are widely used as a model species in mate choice studies. Although native to South America, guppies have been introduced to natural water bodies in disparate regions of the globe.

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.

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.
