Mate 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 کاملA cognitive framework for mate choice and species recognition.
Mating decisions contribute to both the fitness of individuals and the emergence of evolutionary diversity, yet little is known about their cognitive architecture. We propose a simple model that describes how preferences are translated into decisions and how seemingly disparate patterns of preference can emerge from a single perceptual process. The model proposes that females use error-prone es...
متن کاملSex differences in mate recognition and conspecific preference in species with mutual mate choice.
Sexual isolation is often assumed to arise because choosy females recognize and reject heterospecific males as mates. Yet in taxa in which both males and females are choosy, males might also recognize and reject heterospecific females. Here, we asked about the relative contribution of the sexes to the strong sexual isolation found in limnetic-benthic species pairs of threespine sticklebacks, wh...
متن کاملPhylogeographic analysis of the Bufo gargarizans species complex: a revisit.
Using mtDNA sequencing and allozyme electrophoresis data, we tested the "vicariance followed by dispersal" hypothesis of the Bufo gargarizans species group and re-evaluated the species status in the general lineages species concept. A phylogenetic analysis suggested that dispersal, instead of vicariance, dominated the history of the species group. There was a general trend of west to east dispe...
متن کاملSpecies recognition by male swordtails via chemical cues
Species recognition can often play a key role in female mating preferences. Far less is known about conspecific mate recognition from the male perspective. In many closely related taxa, females exhibit few obvious visual differences and males might have to attend to chemical cues in mate recognition, a possibility that has rarely been explored in vertebrates. Here, we examine male species recog...
