Abstract excerpt

Leks have traditionally been considered as arenas where males compete to attract females and secure matings. Thus, direct fitness benefits mediated through competition between males to fertilize females have been considered to be the primary force driving the evolution of lekking behaviour. Inclusive fitness benefits mediated through kin selection may also be involved in lek formation and evolution, but to date...
