“Mechanisms of preference diversity: From genes by environment to behavior “
Picking a mate is a key biological process across a wide range of species, and animals exhibit great diversity in what traits they use during the mate selection process and what they find attractive. Here, the Westerman lab uses a range of genetic, developmental, and behavioral techniques to uncover mechanisms driving mate preference diversity, using butterflies as a model system.
