Determinants and patterns of reproductive success in the greater horseshoe bat during a population recovery.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Ward Helen L, Ransome Roger D, Jones Gareth, Rossiter Stephen J

Abstract excerpt

An individual's reproductive success will depend on traits that increase access to mates, as well as the number of mates available. In most well-studied mammals, males are the larger sex, and body size often increases success in intra-sexual contests and thus paternity. In comparison, the determinants of male success in species with reversed sexual size dimorphism (RSD) are less well understood. Greater horseshoe...
