Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Models of sexual selection usually assume that variation in the expression of sexual ornaments is determined largely by genetic, rather than environmental, factors(1). However, empirical support for this assumption conies from studies of species with litt

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Theories of sexual selection usually assume that female preferences for male ornamental traits are fixed and always likely to favour the largest or most extravagant sexual ornaments. This is not, however, always necessary or likely, particularly in resour

LEK SIZE, MALE MATING SKEW AND THE EVOLUTION OF LEKKING
- 1995
-
In: NATURE. - : MACMILLAN MAGAZINES LTD. - 0028-0836. ; 373:6510, s. 148-151
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- DESPITE extensive theoretical effort(1,8), the evolution of lekking as a mating system remains a controversial issue(9,10). Leks are nonresource-based matins aggregations(2), but may also be regarded as patches differing in female encounter rate(2,3,5,7).

Size and stability of vertebrate leks

In: ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR. - : ACADEMIC PRESS LTD. - 0003-3472. ; 58, s. 1217-1221
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Lek size varies greatly among lekking species. At present there is no explicit theoretical explanation for this diversity. We extend an existing model of optimal lek size that incorporates female mating preferences and male-male contest competition. The m
