Random Mating With a Finite Number of Matings [PDF]
Genetics, 2003 Abstract Random mating is the null model central to population genetics. One assumption behind random mating is that individuals mate an infinite number of times. This is obviously unrealistic. Here we show that when each female mates a finite number of times, the effective size of the population is substantially decreased.

The evolution of mate choice and mating biases [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 We review the current status of three well-established models (direct benefits, indirect benefits and sensory drive) and one newcomer (antagonistic chase-away) of the evolution of mate choice and the biases that are expressed during choice. We highlight the differences and commonalities in the underlying genetics and evolutionary dynamics of these ...
