来自野外和实验室的证据都与动物可以通过观察其他动物的交配行为来获得交配偏好的假设相一致。然而,我们很难将关于配偶的社会学习与其他社会效应区分开来,这些社会效应并不会导致偏好的改变。从实验室研究中得出的例子,说明在女性和男性日本鹌鹑的交配选择的方式,社会线索影响交配决策。两性鹌鹑都使用社会线索来修改他们的配偶选择,但性别使用信息服务于不同的目的。雌性鹌鹑会对与其他雌性交配的雄性产生偏好,而雄性则会避开与其他雄性交配的雌性。社会学习中的性别差异提供了一个例子,说明性行为的成本和收益如何影响决策过程。社会学习对性选择的影响的含义进行了简要讨论。
Evidence from both field and laboratory is consistent with the hypothesis that animals can acquire mate preferences by observing the mating behavior of others. It is difficult, however, to distinguish social learning about mates from a host of other social effects on mating that do not produce changes in preferences. Examples are drawn from laboratory studies on mate choice in female and male Japanese quail that illustrate ways in which social cues influence mating decisions. Quail of both sexes use social cues to modify their mate choices, but the sexes use the information to serve different purposes. Female quail gain preferences for males seen mating with other females, whereas males avoid females that they had observed mating with other males. This sex difference in social learning provides an example of how costs and benefits of sexual behavior can shape decision-making processes. Implications of the influence of social learning on sexual selection are briefly discussed.
