Multiple mating reveals complex patterns of assortative mating by personality and body size.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

Understanding patterns of non-random mating is central to predicting the consequences of sexual selection. Most studies quantifying assortative mating focus on testing for correlations among partners' phenotypes in mated pairs. Few studies have distinguished between assortative mating arising from preferences for similar partners (expressed by all or a subset of the population) vs. from phenotypic segregation in...
