Negative-Assortative Mating in the White-Throated Sparrow.

The Journal of heredity - 16 Mar 2018

Hedrick Philip W, Tuttle Elaina M, Gonser Rusty A

Abstract excerpt

Nonrandom mating based on phenotype has been observed in a number of organisms, but a very high proportion of these examples are of assortative mating. The strongest example of negative-assortative mating is for white-striped versus tan-striped crown in the white-throated sparrow, where about 98% of the observed pairings (mated pairs or social pairs) are between mates with different phenotypes and the correlation...
