Female preference for male color is necessary and sufficient for assortative mating in 2 cichlid sister species (2014, methodology): “…on January 6, 2017 http://beheco.oxfordjournals.org/ D ow nloaded from pupfish, Kodric-Brown and Strecker 2001; Kodric-Brown and West 2014, and in three-spined stickleback fish, Rafferty and Boughman 2006, or visual, chemical, and tactile cues in plethodontid salamanders, Houk and Verrell 1993).”
Species differences in courtship acoustic signals among five Lake Malawi cichlid species (Pseudotropheus spp.) (2008, background): “Divergent mating signals can be effective mechanisms in preventing hybridization (Qvarnström et al., 2006) and closely related species may use different sensory channels to recognize conspecific mates (Rafferty & Boughman, 2006).”
Parasite diversity, patterns of MHC II variation and olfactory based mate choice in diverging three-spined stickleback ecotypes (2011, background): “Rafferty and Boughman (2006) later on hypothesized a potential role of MHC in their study by showing assortative mating based on olfactory cues in sympatric benthic/limnetic stickleback species, but did not investigate genetics.”
