Non-random mating for selection with restricted rates of inbreeding and overlapping generations [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2002 Minimum coancestry mating with a maximum of one offspring per mating pair (MC1) is compared with random mating schemes for populations with overlapping generations. Optimum contribution selection is used, whereby ΔF is restricted.

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 ...

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 repeatability of mating failure in a polyandrous bug [PDF]
, 2015 Funding: NERC DTG ABE1-NERC13Mating failure, characterised by the lack of production of offspring following copulation, is relatively common across taxa yet is little understood.

No Detectable Fertility Benefit from a Single Additional Mating in Wild Stalk-Eyed Flies [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Multiple mating by female insects is widespread, and the explanation(s) for repeated mating by females has been the subject of much discussion.

Biology Open, 2020 Members of the CAP/SCP/TAPS superfamily have been implicated in many different physiological processes, including pathogen defense, sperm maturation and fertilization. The mode of action of this class of proteins, however, remains poorly understood.

Evolution of Divergent Female Mating Preference in Response to Experimental Sexual Selection [PDF]
, 2014 Sexual selection is predicted to drive the coevolution of mating signals and preferences (mating traits) within populations, and could play a role in speciation if sexual isolation arises due to mating trait divergence between populations. However, few

Natura Sloveniae, 2013 Rivčja jama in central Slovenia is a well researched bat summer roost; however, the autumn composition of its bat fauna is still poorly known. Therefore, we conducted mistnetting in front of the cave on 28. 9. 2011.
