Genetic similarity between relatives provides evidence on the presence and history of assortative mating
Abstract Assortative mating – the non-random mating of individuals with similar traits – is known to increase trait-specific genetic variance and genetic similarity between relatives. However, empirical evidence is limited for many traits, and the implications hinge on whether assortative mating has...
