Pairing dynamics and the origin of species.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Mar 2012

Puebla Oscar, Bermingham Eldredge, Guichard Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

Whether sexual selection alone can drive the evolution of assortative mating in the presence of gene flow is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. Here, we report a role for pairing dynamics of individuals when mate choice is mutual, which is sufficient for the evolution of assortative mating by sexual selection alone in the presence of gene flow. Through behavioural observation, individual-based...
