| In both cases the result is assortative mating or breeding among mates that possess similar genes. |
|
| In positive assortative mating, individuals of similar phenotype mate together more frequently than expected by chance. |
|
| Mating may thus be assortative as females mate selectively with males of the same vocal background, discouraging gene migration. |
|
| Fruit flies have served as a prime model system in research on the effect of mate choice and assortative mating on speciation. |
|
| Condition-dependent preferences will emerge in both sexes as a result and presumably will combine to make mating even more strongly assortative. |
|
| Finally, we found no evidence of assortative preference for size. |
|
| In the second part of the paper we consider assortative mating by parental income. |
|
| These results indicate that assortative matching magnifies individual-level intergenerational persistence. |
|
| Cardinals frequently remained paired over several breeding seasons, but we used only the initial pairings in the consideration of assortative mating. |
|
| The outcome of this is assortative mating with respect to mate quality. |
|
| Pondering explanations for it, Mr Johnson pointed to poor state education and assortative mating, by which well-educated people perpetuate their advantage. |
|
| We observed large fluctuations in time-resolved degree-degree correlations, ranging from dissortative to assortative functional brain networks. |
|
| In various ways these ecological adaptations can lead to assortative mating and possible speciation. |
|
| The signs of these parameters can be used to address the issue of positive versus negative assortative mating. |
|
| Our results also suggest the potential for assortative mating, where females that provide more care pair with males which do the same. |
|
| Interspecific competition influences fitness benefits of assortative mating for territorial aggression in Eastern Bluebirds. |
|
| Underlying all distributions of characters in assortative matings are certain elementary principles based on probabilities and the theory of sampling. |
|
| Aggregation formation and assortative mating in two meloid beetles. |
|
| Although his evidence supports Becker's hypothesis of negative assortative mating with respect to wages, the results are not consistent across race groups. |
|
| This indicates that patients with bipolar disorder might tend to choose partners who also suffer from mental illness, a pattern known as assortative mating. |
|
|
|
| Assortative interactions can generate highly nonrandom variation among groups. |
