概要。配偶选择是繁殖成功的一个至关重要的决定因素。由于它在进化过程中的重要性，它受到了对行为的最终原因感兴趣的动物行为学家的极大关注。很少有人致力于揭示配偶选择的生理机制，包括那些在个体发育过程中导致成年人配偶偏好的机制。作为自然选择和性选择的结果，配偶选择的许多方面都是性二态的。同一物种的成年雄性和雌性如何表现出不同的交配伴侣偏好？一种可能性是性类固醇激素发挥重要作用，在早期发育过程中永久建立性别差异或在成年期促进其表达，作用类似于性类固醇对性二型交配和求偶行为模式的组织和激活作用。这篇综述（1）总结了关于激素和择偶的已知知识，突出了那些与从进化的角度理解近因最相关的结果;（2）描述了作者实验室最近的工作，测试了择偶的组织激素假说，集中在一个特别广泛和强大的择偶方面--对异性伴侣的偏好--在一个成对结合的物种--斑胸草雀中;（3）提出了未来研究的方向，可能会整合最终和近因。
SYNOPSIS. Mate choice is a critically important determinant of reproductive success. Because of its significance in the evolutionary process, it has received a great deal of attention from animal behaviorists interested in ultimate causes of behavior. Much less effort has been directed at uncovering the physiological mechanisms of mate choice, including those operating during ontogeny that lead to adult mate preferences. As a result of natural and sexual selection, many aspects of mate choice are sexually dimorphic. How do adult males and females of the same species come to show different mating partner preferences? One possibility is that sex steroid hormones play important roles, acting either during early development to permanently establish sex differences or during adulthood to facilitate their expression, roles similar to the organizational and activational effects of sex steroids on sexually dimorphic copulatory and courtship behavior patterns. This review (1) summarizes what is known about hormones and mate choice, highlighting those results most relevant to understanding proximate causation from an evolutionary perspective; (2) describes recent work from the author's lab testing an organizational hormone hypothesis of mate choice, focusing on a particularly widespread and robust aspect of mate choice—preference for opposite sex partners—in a pair bonding species—the zebra finch; and (3) suggests some future directions for research that might integrate ultimate and proximate causation.
