Sexual selection and assortative mating: an experimental test.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2016

Debelle A, Ritchie M G, Snook R R

Abstract excerpt

Mate choice and mate competition can both influence the evolution of sexual isolation between populations. Assortative mating may arise if traits and preferences diverge in step, and, alternatively, mate competition may counteract mating preferences and decrease assortative mating. Here, we examine potential assortative mating between populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura that have experimentally evolved under...
