Phenotypic polymorphism via mate copying.

Abstract excerpt

Classical mate choice theories assume independent decision-making, yet mounting evidence shows that individuals often use social information and copy conspecifics' mate choices, a behavior termed mate copying. While this nonindependent mate choice has been documented across vertebrates and notably in Drosophila melanogaster, theoretical and experimental frameworks have been mainly restricted to binary choice...
