Modeling Mate Choice in Monogamous Mating Systems with Courtship
We present a conceptual framework for the study of mate choice in monogamous mating systems with non-negligible courtship time. Within this framework, we develop a mate choice model for the common case where individuals have a changing social network of potential partners. The performance and robustness of different agent strategies is evaluated, emphasizing the important role that courtship pl...
متن کاملPlasticity of the mate choice mind: courtship evokes choice-like brain responses in females from a coercive mating system.
Female mate choice is fundamental to sexual selection, and determining molecular underpinnings of female preference variation is important for understanding mating character evolution. Previously it was shown that whole-brain expression of a synaptic plasticity marker, neuroserpin, positively correlates with mating bias in the female choice poeciliid, Xiphophorus nigrensis, when exposed to cons...
متن کاملThe evolution of mate choice and mating biases.
We review the current status of three well-established models (direct benefits, indirect benefits and sensory drive) and one newcomer (antagonistic chase-away) of the evolution of mate choice and the biases that are expressed during choice. We highlight the differences and commonalities in the underlying genetics and evolutionary dynamics of these models. We then argue that progress in understa...
متن کاملA Model of Human Mate Choice with Courtship That Predicts Population Patterns
We present a new model of human mate choice incorporating non-negligible courtship time. The courtship period is used by individuals to strategically swap to better partners when they become available. Our model relies on realistic assumptions about human psychological constraints and the specifics of the human social environment to make predictions about population level patterns that are supp...
