(7) Younger males increasingly tended to select brides of their own age group until the 1960s, while older males have been increasingly heterogamous since World War II.
(8) Previous heterogamic copulatory experience did not change the degree of sexual isolation; however, females with homogamic copulatory experience showed a significantly higher preference for homogamic males.
(9) An alternative explanation to the pheromonal control of mating through chemoreceptor saturation proposed by Averhoff and Richardson (1974) is offered for the apparent rise in heterogamic mating in their experiments, after several generations of full-sib mating.
(10) Thus these unions are termed "symptom object" relationships and are characterologically heterogamous.

(10) The results indicate that additional feed in late gestation improves reproductive performance in sows.
(11) Here we show that the subsequent survival and reproductive success of subordinate female red deer is depressed more by rearing sons than by rearing daughters, whereas the subsequent fitness of dominant females is unaffected by the sex of their present offspring.
