Sexy males and choosy females on exploded leks: correlates of male attractiveness in the Little Bustard.

Behavioural processes - 1 Mar 2014

Jiguet Frédéric, Bretagnolle Vincent

In their choice of mates, females may use alternative tactics, including a comparative assessment of males in a population, using one or several relative preference criteria. Traits involved in female choice should presumably be variable between, but not within males, thus potentially providing reliable cues of male identity and quality for prospecting females. In lekking species, sexual selection is usually...
