Negative public information in mate choice copying helps the spread of a novel trait.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2014

Santos Mauro, Matos Margarida, Varela Susana A M

Abstract excerpt

Numerous field and laboratory experiments have shown that many species have the capacity for social learning, including mate choice decisions that can be influenced by witnessing the mating decisions of others. Here we develop a numerical model of mate choice copying that follows the population genetics tradition, consisting in tracking allele frequencies in a population over time under various scenarios. In...
