The use of multiple cues in mate choice (2003, background): “The possibility of genotype-dependent mate preferences, with females preferring males that complement their own genetic make-up, has received much interest in recent years (see review by Tregenza & Wedell, 2000).”
Mate Choice and Genetic Quality: A Review of the Heterozygosity Theory (2007, background): “Promiscuity and inbreeding avoidance It has often been proposed that female promiscuity, defined as mating with more than one male during a single reproductive event, is a strategy to reduce inbreeding depression or increase offspring genetic compatibility (e.g., Brooker et al., 1990; Sillero‐ Zubir”
Message ‘scent’: lemurs detect the genetic relatedness and quality of conspecifics via olfactory cues (2010, background): “…and indirect fitness, with benefits of appropriate partner selection being evidenced, for instance, by the preferential treatment of relatives (Holmes 2001), the avoidance of consanguineous mating, or the production of offspring with specific genotypes (Pusey & Wolf 1996; Tregenza & Wedell 2000).”
PUTTING SEXUAL TRAITS INTO THE CONTEXT OF AN ORGANISM: A LIFE-HISTORY PERSPECTIVE IN STUDIES OF SEXUAL SELECTION (2002, background): “…support for a self-referential mechanism of mate choice comes from within-species studies of genetic compatibility, where it is found that a particular combination of individual male and female genotypes (e.g. in MHC complex; Grahn 2000) produces the highest fitness (Tregenza and Wedell 2000).”
Sneaking from a female perspective (2007, background): “MHC-based preferences are not restricted to premating choices, but pertain also to fertilization (Tregenza & Wedell 2000).”
Polyandry in social Hymenoptera — disunity in diversity? (2001, background): “Within species of solitary insects, inbreeding avoidance appears to be frequent as affecting mate choice, but the risk appears to be very small of a female mating with an unrelated male possessing genes that, in combination with hers leads to combinations detrimental to her offspring ( Tregenza & We”
Complex signal function: developing a framework of testable hypotheses (2004, background): “Genotype-dependent mate preferences, where females choose mates in an attempt to compliment their own genetic make-up, are also suggested to be widespread (for review see Tregenza and Wedell 2000).”
Taking the sensory approach: how individual differences in sensory perception can influence mate choice (2012, positive): “Female mate choice can also be affected by internal factors such as genetics (Tregenza & Wedell 2000; Chenoweth & Blows 2006; Horth 2007) and female condition (Cotton et al. 2006a).”
Toward a New Sexual Selection Paradigm: Polyandry, Conflict and Incompatibility (Invited Article) (2003, background): “In the former category, hypotheses share with classic male competition/mate choice theory an emphasis on the intrinsic, i.e. additive effects of paternal genes on female fitness (Zeh & Zeh 1996, 1997, 2001; Tregenza & Wedell 2000).”
Paternity in mallards: Effects of sperm quality and female sperm selection for inbreeding avoidance (2005, background): “Females could achieve this by selecting for particular ‘‘good genes’’ or by selecting for a genetically more compatible genome (for reviews see Jennions and Petrie, 2000; Tregenza and Wedell, 2000; Zeh and Zeh, 1996).”
Female infidelity and genetic compatibility in birds: the role of the genetically loaded raffle in understanding the function of extrapair paternity (2009, neutral): “in sympatry, Veen et al. (2001) demonstrated that females”
Multiple paternity, sperm storage, and reproductive success of female and male painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) in nature (2001, background): “In addition, the genetic quality of mates may differ depending on specific compatibilities between male and female genotypes, leading to situations where females with multiple mates might often achieve higher reproductive success (Zeh and Zeh 1996; Tregenza and Wedell 2000).”
Factors predicting male fertilization success in an external fertilizer (2008, background): “However, in populations under divergent evolution, assortative mating may prevent coadapted gene complexes from breaking up by hybridization (Tregenza and Wedell 2000).”
