Models of Cultural Niche Construction with Selection and Assortative Mating
Niche construction is a process through which organisms modify their environment and, as a result, alter the selection pressures on themselves and other species. In cultural niche construction, one or more cultural traits can influence the evolution of other cultural or biological traits by affecting the social environment in which the latter traits may evolve. Cultural niche construction may i...
متن کاملGeography, assortative mating, and the effects of sexual selection on speciation with gene flow
Theoretical and empirical research on the evolution of reproductive isolation have both indicated that the effects of sexual selection on speciation with gene flow are quite complex. As part of this special issue on the contributions of women to basic and applied evolutionary biology, I discuss my work on this question in the context of a broader assessment of the patterns of sexual selection t...
متن کاملSome population genetic models combining artificial and natural selection pressures: I. one-locus theory.
This paper investigates the consequences of implementing certain specific artificial selection programs on populations taking due account of some natural genetic and ecological forces. A series of culling procedures and models have been examined in considerable detail, and a number of qualitative and quantitative conclusions were drawn. The basic population is taken to be large, effectively of ...
متن کاملAssortative Mating on Education: A Genetic Assessment∗
We combine an instrumental variables approach –exploiting genetic variation in polygenic scores and controlling for population stratification– with a stochastic linear bi-dimensional matching model –which allows us to test the validity of the exclusion restriction. Individuals match on an additive index of overall marital attractiveness which has two components: an observable component (educati...
متن کاملSexual Selection: Copycat Mating
Female zebra finches may be influenced by the choices of other females when selecting mates, challenging the view that mate-choice copying should not occur in species with biparental care. Choosing a mate is not a simple business. A female needs a male in order to reproduce, but how does she know which one to pick? How can she find a good mate without wasting too much time and effort? One answe...
