Evolution of Assortative Mating in a Population Expressing Dominance
In this article, we study the influence of dominance on the evolution of assortative mating. We perform a population-genetic analysis of a two-locus two-allele model. We consider a quantitative trait that is under a mixture of frequency-independent stabilizing selection and density- and frequency-dependent selection caused by intraspecific competition for a continuum of resources. The trait is ...
متن کاملAssortative mating driving spatial divergence of mating trait in diploid species: how dominance influences population differentiation?
Divergence between populations for a given trait can be driven by natural or sexual selection, interacting with migration behaviour. Mating preference for different phenotypes can lead to the emergence and persistence of differentiated populations, even without any local adaptation. However the genetic architecture underlying the trait targeted by mating preference may have a profound impact on...
متن کاملAssortative mating based on phenotype. I. Two alleles with dominance.
I N animals with separate sexes several traits are known to induce some sort of preference for mating between similar individuals (assortment) or preference for mating between dissimilar individuals (disassortment) . Assorting, for example, is known to occur in certain bird, mammal (man included) and insect populations. Traits affecting preferences can be partly subject to environmental control...
متن کاملAssortative mating without assortative preference.
Assortative mating--marriage of a man and a woman with similar social characteristics--is a commonly observed phenomenon. In the existing literature in both sociology and economics, this phenomenon has mainly been attributed to individuals' conscious preferences for assortative mating. In this paper, we show that patterns of assortative mating may arise from another structural source even if in...
متن کاملAssortative mating in animals.
Assortative mating occurs when there is a correlation (positive or negative) between male and female phenotypes or genotypes across mated pairs. To determine the typical strength and direction of assortative mating in animals, we carried out a meta-analysis of published measures of assortative mating for a variety of phenotypic and genotypic traits in a diverse set of animal taxa. We focused on...
