When Do Opposites Attract? A Model Uncovering the Evolution of Disassortative Mating.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2021

Maisonneuve Ludovic, Beneteau Thomas, Joron Mathieu, Smadi Charline, Llaurens Violaine

Abstract excerpt

AbstractDisassortative mating is a rare form of mate preference that promotes the persistence of polymorphism. While the evolution of assortative mating and its consequences for trait variation and speciation have been extensively studied, the conditions enabling the evolution of disassortative mating are still poorly understood. Mate preferences increase the risk of missing mating opportunities, a cost that can...
