Testing the status-dependent ESS model: population variation in fighter expression in the mite Sancassania berlesei.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2004

Tomkins J L, Lebas N R, Unrug J, Radwan J

Abstract excerpt

The conditional evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) with status-dependent tactics is the most commonly invoked ESS for alternative reproductive tactics within the sexes. Support for this model has recently been criticized as apparent rather than real. We address key predictions of the status-dependent ESS in three populations of the male dimorphic mite Sancassania berlesei. In S. berlesei'fighter' males are...
