Comparative analysis reveals assortative mate preferences in darters independent of sympatry and sex
Hejja-Brichard Y, Renoult J, Mendelson T
Ecol Evol
. 2024 Oct;
14(10):e11498.
PMID: 39355117
A preference for mating with conspecifics over heterospecifics is fundamental to the maintenance of species diversity in sexually reproducing organisms. This type of positive assortative preference results in sexual isolation,...

Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol
. 2024 Feb;
16(4).
PMID: 38346859
A central role for sexual isolation in the formation of new species and establishment of species boundaries has been noticed since Darwin and is frequently emphasized in the modern literature...

Dibot N, Tieo S, Mendelson T, Puech W, Renoult J
PLoS Comput Biol
. 2023 Dec;
19(12):e1011703.
PMID: 38048323
Generations of scientists have pursued the goal of defining beauty. While early scientists initially focused on objective criteria of beauty ('feature-based aesthetics'), philosophers and artists alike have since proposed that...

Mendelson T, Patricelli G, Hebets E
PLoS Biol
. 2023 Oct;
21(10):e3002321.
PMID: 37792710
A new evolutionary model of mate choice copying, published in PLOS Biology, aims to reconcile mismatches between theory and data by proposing that juvenile females mistakenly imprint on male phenotypes...

Mendelson T, Safran R
Trends Ecol Evol
. 2021 Oct;
36(12):1153-1163.
PMID: 34607719
Twenty years ago, a seminal paper summarized the role of sexual selection in speciation as the coordinated evolution of (male) courtship signals and (female) preferences leading to prezygotic (behavioral) isolation...

Roberts N, Mendelson T
Curr Zool
. 2021 Apr;
67(2):225-236.
PMID: 33854540
In sexually dimorphic species characterized by exaggerated male ornamentation, behavioral isolation is often attributed to female preferences for conspecific male signals. Yet, in a number of sexually dimorphic species, male...

Hulse S, Renoult J, Mendelson T
Nat Commun
. 2020 May;
11(1):2561.
PMID: 32444815
Sexual signal design is an evolutionary puzzle that has been partially solved by the hypothesis of sensory drive. Framed in signal detection theory, sensory drive posits that the attractiveness of...

Roberts N, Mendelson T
Ecol Evol
. 2020 Mar;
10(5):2499-2512.
PMID: 32184997
Reinforcement occurs when selection against hybrid offspring strengthens behavioral isolation between parental species and may be an important factor in speciation. Theoretical models and experimental evidence indicate that both female...

PMID: 30940061
Communication signals often comprise an array of colours, lines, spots, notes or odours that are arranged in complex patterns, melodies or blends. Receiver perception is assumed to influence preference and...
