Modeling Mate-Choice using Computational Temperature and Dynamically Evolving Representations
We present a model of mate-choice (KAMA) that is based on a gradual, stochastic process of representation-building leading to marriage. KAMA reproduces empirically verifiable population-level mate-selection behavior using individual-level mate-choice mechanisms. Individuals have character profiles, which describe a number of their characteristics (physical beauty, potential earning power, etc.)...
متن کاملGeneralization in response to mate recognition signals.
Females usually exhibit strong and unequivocal recognition of conspecific mating signals and reject those of other sympatric heterospecifics. However, most species are allopatric with one another, and the degree to which females recognize mating signals of allopatric species is more varied. Such mating signals are often rejected but are sometimes falsely recognized as conspecific. We studied th...
متن کاملMate Recognition, Species Boundaries and the Fallacy of “Species Recognition”
If speciation is typically a process of allopatric divergence following vicariance or dispersal, then a priori, we might expect that individuals of separate lineages typically will retain the ability to “recognize mates” across species boundaries, especially if some components of mate recognition experience strong stabilizing selection. Confusion results from an over-reliance on the importance ...
متن کاملVomeronasal mechanisms of mate recognition in mice.
The ability of animals to distinguish individual con-specifics influences many aspects of their behaviour, including choice of mate, territorial marking and mother-offspring interactions. In rodents, information about individuality is conveyed by chemical cues in their urine and body secretions. Hence, mice can be trained to discriminate the urine odour of congenic mice that differ only in gene...
متن کاملCues for Mate Recognition and the Effect of Prior Experience on Mate Recognition in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Enallagma</Emphasis> Damselflies
In many coenagrionid damselflies, sexually mature females exhibit color polymorphisms, with some females resembling conspecific males. Although it has been suggested that the latter function as male mimics, this does not appear to be the case for those in the genus Enallagma. We found that sexually dimorphic coloration of the female abdomen and thorax are important cues for sexual recognition b...
