Genetic Coupling of Mate Recognition Systems in the Genomic Era.

Abstract excerpt

The concept of "genetic coupling" in mate recognition systems arose in the 1960s as a potential mechanism to maintain coordination between signals and receivers during evolutionary divergence. At its most basic it proposed that the same genes might influence trait and preference, and therefore mutations could result in coordinated changes in both traits. Since then, the concept has expanded in scope and is often...
