Later, the intersexual selection of the most common S. alburnoides form (triploid females) was studied in northern populations. A reproduction tendency with individuals of the sympatric species S. carolitertii was observed. This preference pattern may give some important clues for clarif...
Assortative mating patterns for mate quality traits like body size are often observed in nature. However, the underlying mechanisms that cause assortative mating patterns are less well known. Sexual selection is one important explanation for assortment, suggesting that i) one (usually the female) or...
Bilateral Symmetry (see image above) is thus equated withheterozygosity* and resistance to infection and debilitating pathogens. Bilateral Symmetry and parasite resistance are factors that show optimum health and increase the success in intersexual and intrasexual competition [8]. *Note: The term homozy...
