Variation in Mating Dynamics across Five Species of Leiobunine Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opliones) [PDF]
, 2018 The study of mating choices often focuses on correlates of traits to the overall outcome of a mating interaction. However, mating interactions can proceed through a series of stages, with opportunities for assessment at each stage.
