Abstract: Abstract Assortative mating is a potential outcome of sexual selection, and estimating its level is important to better understand local adaptation and underlying trait evolution. However, assortative mating studies frequently base their conclusions on small… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-018-2258-9
Abstract: Mating patterns are highly context-dependent and the outcome of selection pressures formed by ecological factors, inbreeding levels and access to available partners. In small and inbred populations, matings are limited by high kin encounter rates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11056-017-9604-6
Abstract: Understanding the variation of mating patterns in disturbed habitats provide insight into the evolutionary potential of plant species and how they persist over time. However, this phenomenon is poorly understood in tropical dryland tree species.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12568
Abstract: Choosing the right mate is crucial for successful breeding, particularly in monogamous species with long and extensive bi‐parental care, and when the breeding pair is presumed to last many seasons. We investigated the degree of… read more here.
