Abstract excerpt

A number of key processes in evolution are driven by individuals preferring mates with particular phenotypes. However, despite long-standing interest, it is difficult to quantify the strength of mate preference from phenotypic observations in nature in a way that connects directly to key parameters in theoretical models. To bridge the gap between mathematical models and empirical data, we develop a novel maximum...
