Which cues are sexy? The evolution of mate preference in sympatric species reveals the contrasted effect of adaptation and reproductive interference.

This paper models how mate preferences evolve in sympatric species, showing that preferences may target adaptive traits or neutral traits depending on heterospecific interactions and sensory trade-offs.

Uncovering the effects of Müllerian mimicry on the evolution of conspicuousness in colour patterns

This study models how Müllerian mimicry influences the evolution of conspicuousness in defended prey species, showing that less conspicuous patterns are generally favored unless they impair mimicry.

Evolutionary origins of sexual dimorphism : Lessons from female-limited mimicry in butterflies.

The paper uses a mathematical model to compare evolutionary hypotheses for female-limited mimicry in butterflies, showing divergence in female traits is not solely due to natural selection.

The limits of evolutionary convergence in sympatry: reproductive interference and historical constraints leading to local diversity in warning traits

The paper develops a mathematical model to show that reproductive interference and historical constraints limit the convergence of warning traits in sympatric species, leading to imperfect mimicry or divergence.

Evolution and genetic architecture of disassortative mating at a locus under heterozygote advantage

This study models the evolution of disassortative mating under heterozygote advantage at a locus under balancing selection, showing that genetic architecture and selection regimes influence its emergence.
