Limited indirect fitness benefits of male group membership in a lekking species.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2014

Lebigre Christophe, Alatalo Rauno V, Soulsbury Carl D, Höglund Jacob, Siitari Heli

Abstract excerpt

In group living species, individuals may gain the indirect fitness benefits characterizing kin selection when groups contain close relatives. However, tests of kin selection have primarily focused on cooperatively breeding and eusocial species, whereas its importance in other forms of group living remains to be fully understood. Lekking is a form of grouping where males display on small aggregated territories,...
