The role of mate-choice copying in speciation and hybridization.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 May 2018

Varela Susana A M, Matos Margarida, Schlupp Ingo

Abstract excerpt

Mate-choice copying, a social, non-genetic mechanism of mate choice, occurs when an individual (typically a female) copies the mate choice of other individuals via a process of social learning. Over the past 20 years, mate-choice copying has consistently been shown to affect mate choice in several species, by altering the genetically based expression of mating preferences. This behaviour has been claimed by...
