Assortative mating in animals.

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2013

Jiang Yuexin, Bolnick Daniel I, Kirkpatrick Mark

Abstract excerpt

Assortative mating occurs when there is a correlation (positive or negative) between male and female phenotypes or genotypes across mated pairs. To determine the typical strength and direction of assortative mating in animals, we carried out a meta-analysis of published measures of assortative mating for a variety of phenotypic and genotypic traits in a diverse set of animal taxa. We focused on the strength of...
