QInfoMating: Sexual Selection and Assortative Mating Estimation Software

QInfoMating is software that analyzes mating data using information theory and model selection to estimate sexual selection and assortative mating patterns.

The information theory formalism unifies the detection of the patterns of sexual selection and assortative mating for both discrete and quantitative traits

This paper unifies the detection of sexual selection and assortative mating for discrete and quantitative traits using information theory, showing that the same divergence measure applies to both.

1LocusSim a mobile-friendly simulator for teaching population genetics

1LocusSim is a mobile-friendly simulator for teaching population genetics concepts, allowing students to explore allelic frequency changes under different evolutionary factors.

A simulation study of the ecological speciation conditions in the Galician marine snail Littorina saxatilis

This study uses individual-based simulations to explore ecological speciation conditions in Littorina saxatilis, finding that speciation depends on ecological factors, selection strength, and mate choice parameters.

Multi-model inference of non-random mating from an information theoretic approach

The paper develops a framework for inferring non-random mating patterns using information theory and applies it to Galician Littorina saxatilis data, showing models with both mate choice and intrasexual competition better describe mating patterns.

MateSim: Monte Carlo simulation for the generation of mating tables

MateSim simulates mating processes to explore how individual preferences and encounter dynamics shape population mating patterns, showing assortative mating can arise from non-assortative preferences.

A generalization of the informational view of non-random mating: Models with variable population frequencies

The paper generalizes a model of non-random mating by allowing population frequencies to vary over mating rounds and shows improved detection power for sexual selection effects.

Non-random mating and information theory

This paper models mate choice using mutual mating propensity and connects it to information theory, revealing new insights into sexual selection and isolation effects.

HacDivSel: Two new methods (haplotype-based and outlier-based) for the detection of divergent selection in pairs of populations

This paper introduces two methods for detecting divergent selection in population pairs, showing high power and controlled false positives through simulations and real data analysis.
