Proc Biol Sci 278:179-87. 2011..The results imply the existence of fundamental limits to the evolution of assortment via sexual selection in this situation, with which other factors, such as search costs, may interact...- Magic traits in speciation: 'magic' but not rare?Maria R Servedio
Department of Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA
Trends Ecol Evol 26:389-97. 2011..We conclude that magic traits are more frequent than previously perceived, but further work is needed to clarify their importance... 
The what and why of research on reinforcementMaria R Servedio
Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina, North Carolina, USA
PLoS Biol 2:e420. 2004- The evolution of premating isolation: local adaptation and natural and sexual selection against hybridsMaria R Servedio

Evolution 58:913-24. 2004..I present some situations in which this type of selection is likely to exist. This work also illustrates shortfalls of using a weak selection approach to address questions about reinforcement... - Speciation as a positive feedback loop between postzygotic and prezygotic barriers to gene flowMaria R Servedio
Division of Biology 0116, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92092 0116, USA
Proc Biol Sci 270:1473-9. 2003..Accordingly, hitchhiking can be important in promoting speciation and can also lead to increased postzygotic isolation through adaptive evolution... - Male versus female mate choice: sexual selection and the evolution of species recognition via reinforcementMaria R Servedio
Department of Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA
Evolution 61:2772-89. 2007..I demonstrate that although under many conditions stronger premating isolation evolves under female mate choice, reinforcement may indeed occur via male mate choice alone... - Gentlemen prefer blondes: the evolution of mate preference among strategically allocated malesJonathan T Rowell
Department of Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA
Am Nat 173:12-25. 2009..These processes can cause complete assortative mating to emerge in the model... - Evolution of mate-choice imprinting: competing strategiesNora A Tramm
Department of Biology CB 3280 Coker Hall Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA
Evolution 62:1991-2003. 2008..We suggest that the imprinting set concept may be generalized to predict the success of additional imprinting strategies, such as mate-choice copying... - Postmating-prezygotic isolation is not an important source of selection for reinforcement within and between species in Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilisPatrick D Lorch
Biology Department, University of North Carolina, CB 3280, Coker Hall, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 3280, USA
Evolution 59:1039-45. 2005..Premating isolation is most likely driven in sympatric populations by previously known hybrid male sterility... - Dissecting selection on female mating preferences during secondary contactStephen R Proulx
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California, USA
Evolution 63:2031-46. 2009..Female preferences based on total male condition also achieved high rates of spread, suggesting that preferences for condition-dependent male displays may evolve under reinforcement scenarios... - Microhabitat variation and sexual selection can maintain male color polymorphismsAmanda J Chunco

Evolution 59:2097-108. 2005..Finally, when females rely on preference genes, male trait evolution occurs easily, but the correlation between trait and preference can be weak, and interpreting these results as speciation may be suspect... - Can reinforcement occur with a learned trait?Helen Olofsson
Department of Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA
Evolution 65:1992-2003. 2011..Generalizing beyond the example of song, we conclude that socially learned signals will tend to prohibit reinforcement, but it may still occur if some individuals acquire trait phenotypes genetically... - Evolution of displays within the pair bondMaria R Servedio
