Conclusion
JMATING is the first complete and versatile software for the analyses of mating frequency data.
Supporting Evidence
- JMATING implements a complete analysis of sexual selection and sexual isolation effects from laboratory or field mating frequency data.
- The software permits a battery of complementary tests, including bootstrapping.
- JMATING is freely available and can run on various platforms.
Takeaway
JMATING is a computer program that helps scientists study how animals choose their mates and how this affects their evolution.
Methodology
The software allows users to input mating frequency data and perform various statistical analyses to study sexual selection and isolation.
Limitations
The program may experience delays with more than 100 mating types due to computation time.
