Quantifying mating success of territorial males and sneakers in a bower-building cichlid fish.

Scientific reports - 27 Jan 2017

Magalhaes I S, Smith A M, Joyce D A

Abstract excerpt

The strategies and traits males evolve to mate with females are incredible in their diversity. Theory on the evolution of secondary sexual characters suggests that evolving any costly trait or strategy will pay off and stabilise in the population if it is advantageous compared to the alternative less costly strategy, but quantifying the relative success of the two can be difficult. In Lake Malawi, Africa, there...
