A Comment on "Mate Recognition Systems" [PDF]
In a recent response to a note by Ringo (1977) on "Why 300 species of Hawaiian Drosophila?," Templeton (1979) introduced a new aspect to the discussion. This was the idea of the Mate Recognition System, or, as I now prefer to call it, the Specific-Mate Recognition System (SMRS), which I introduced in 1976.

A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies [PDF]
Engqvist L, Sauer KP. A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies. Behavioral Ecology. 2002;13(5):632-636.In species with high male mating effort, there is a trade-off between mating effort spent in a current mating and ...

Animal‐borne video systems provide insight into the reproductive behavior of the Asian black bear
Previous studies on the mating system of the Asian black bear (Ursus thibetanus) have been limited to observations of captive populations and estimations of multiple paternities. Hence, the mating system of wild bears remains poorly understood.

The repeatability of mating failure in a polyandrous bug [PDF]
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.

Hybridization between species can affect the strength of the reproductive barriers that separate those species. Two extensions of this effect are (1) the expectation that asymmetric hybridization or gene flow will have asymmetric effects on reproductive ...

Male mating tactics in the rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocellatus) and European bitterling (Rhodeus amarus) [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the basis to male mating decisions in two related species of bitterling: Rhodeus ocellatus and R. amarus. Bitterling have a resource-based mating system; females lay eggs in the gills of live freshwater mussels ...
