I looked at the wiki, as recommended in the original article and it said several times that in the models being used, mating is assumed to be random. What happens when you alter the model so it has mate-choice, as many species do in the wild?
Also, the wiki article also said something about assuming perfect selection. Does modelling selection as imperfect gain you anything?
Species that just dump their sex cells into the water/air to fertilise randomly, like sessile sea-creatures, plants (not knowing the bio-terminology, I don’t know if bees etc. transferring pollen could count as some sort of choice or not)
As far as ‘most complex/evolved’ - even if I could figure out how to decide how evolved or complex something was… I don’t have the knowledge.

What sorts of species don’t have mate choice? What is the most complex/evolved one (I have no clue what the proper terminology is)?

Then we should check the model against those cases it claims to model perfectly, since there are so many.
