Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, ‘New Perspectives in Mate Choice’, aims to cover a taxonomic range of organisms including vertebrates and invertebrates, and will reflect the current state of the field.
It will explore different subtopics such as communication in mate choice, cryptic female choice, the role of personality and social factors in mate choice, the role of mate performance in mate choice, communication in mate choice, neurobiological aspects of mate choice, and models for the evolution of mate choice.
If you feel you have an intriguing contribution to make to our Special Issue on mate choice but are unsure whether your study would fit within its scope, please do not hesitate to contact us. This Special Issue is open to contributions in the form of experimental studies, opinion pieces, and theoretical studies.
