Mutual Mate Choice: When it Pays Both Sexes to Avoid Inbreeding
Theoretical models of sexual selection predict that both males and females of many species should benefit by selecting their mating partners. However, empirical evidence testing and validating this prediction is scarce. In particular, whereas inbreeding avoidance is expected to induce sexual conflicts, in some cases both partners could benefit by acting in concert and exerting mutual mate choic...
متن کاملIs mate choice in Drosophila males guided by olfactory or gustatory pheromones?
Author manuscript, published in "Animal Behaviour (2010) in press" 2 Drosophila melanogaster flies use both olfactory and taste systems to detect sex pheromones 1 and select the most suitable mate for reproduction. In nature, flies often face multiple 2 potential partners and should have an acute sensory ability to discriminate between different 3 pheromonal bouquets. We investigated both the p...
متن کاملMathematical Models of Mutual Mate Choice
In this review, we present several variations of the Alpern-Reyniers two-sided matching model, with particular application to its biological interpretation as a mate selection game. In this context, the model describes equilibrium behavior in a dynamic game where unmated males and females of various types in a given cohort group are randomly matched in a succession of periods. If they 'accept' ...
متن کاملSong Choice Is Modulated by Female Movement in Drosophila Males
Mate selection is critical to ensuring the survival of a species. In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, genetic and anatomical studies have focused on mate recognition and courtship initiation for decades. This model system has proven to be highly amenable for the study of neural systems controlling the decision making process. However, much less is known about how courtship quality is reg...
متن کاملHow is female mate choice affected by male competition?
The plethora of studies devoted to the topics of male competition and female mate choice belie the fact that their interaction remains poorly understood. Indeed, on the question of whether competition should help or hinder the choice process, opinions scattered throughout the sexual selection literature seem unnecessarily polarised. We argue, in the light of recent theoretical and empirical adv...
