Assortative mating by income also seems to be on the rise.

This initially suggested the possibility of assortative mating by female choice.

Education policy may affect the degree of assortative mating.

Divergence is frequently distinguished by assortative mating between individuals of the two species.

Burtless himself does not think that assortative mating is necessarily becoming more prevalent.

If assortative mating does contribute to our growing gap between rich and poor, does that matter?

The potential for a decrease in genetic diversity due to assortative mating can have negative implications.

Controversially, some have suggested assortative mating may play a role in the number of children diagnosed with autism.

With complete monogamy, there is assortative mating for sexually selected traits.

It is a form of assortative mating.

Assortative mating was either positive or negative.

Koinophilia must be distinguished from assortative mating, which means "like prefers like".

The polymorphism is maintained by negative assortative mating - each morph mates with its opposite.

One explanation for the increased prevalence of autism may be increased assortative mating between high systemizers.

In humans, assortative mating occurs along many dimensions, including religious beliefs, physical traits, age, socioeconomic status, intelligence, and political ideology, among others.

The low fitness of the hybrids would cause selection to favor assortative mating, which would control hybridization.

The opposite of random mating is assortative mating.

Instead, isolated mating via assortative mating may trigger speciation.

Because assortative mating based on plumage color adequately predicts reproductive success, there are higher levels of fidelity and less need for extra pair relations.

These include positive assortative mating within populations, habitat selection of different populations and hybrid unfitness.

Nonetheless, my hypothesis is that autism is the genetic result of "assortative mating" between parents who are both strong systemizers.

Traditionally, cultures were perpetuated through assortative mating, with intermarriage among the like-minded and the like-appearing.

Assortative mating does not change the frequency of individual alleles, but increases the proportion of homozygous individuals.

Furthermore, assortative mating may be required for sympatric speciation, meaning the evolution of a new species without geographic isolation.

It is believed that the American Robin practices assortative mating on plumage color, a melanin based trait.
