Sentence examples for classifications of mating from inspiring English sources
Mating systems can also be conceptualised in terms of the opportunity for selection (e.g. Shuster & Wade, 2003), although similar classifications of mating systems tend to result.
The classification of mating system on the basis of floral morphology can lead to false attributions and does not provide any quantitative measure of actual outcrossing rates.
Unfortunately high quality data on reproductive tactics in ungulates are currently not sufficient to obtain a classification of mating tactics that would better reflect the selective pressures exerted on pre- and post-copulatory traits, limiting the conclusions that can be drawn from the absence of distinct pattern of allocation to pre- and post-reproductive traits reported.
First, the classification of mating tactics used (female defence versus territory defence) might not reflect adequately the level of pre- and post-copulatory competition in ungulate species.

We numerically identify the classification variables as mating status-1, marked status-2, and age-3.
The resolution of this question awaits a systematic classification of the genetic mating system of all members of the Pomatoschistus clade and a comparison of the ecological and evolutionary factors that may influence male alternative reproductive tactics within individual species such as G. flavescens.
We use the per-species mating type classification of [ 48] as a basis for reconstructing the history of selfing evolution in clade C presented here (Table 1).
