Biased learning affects mate choice in a butterfly
Biased learning affects mate choice in a butterfly is a scholarly work by Erica L. Westerman and Antónia Monteiro, published in 2012 in ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America''. The main subjects of the publication include butterfly, biology, evolutionary ecology, Ornament, bias, mating, mate choice, zoology, social learning, pollinator decline, Mating preferences, ecology, sexual selection, preference, and evolutionary biology. The findings demonstrate that females are able to change their preferences in response to a single social event, and suggest a role for biased learning in the evolution of visual sexual ornamentation. .
