On the resolution of the lek paradox

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008
Directional female mate choice is expected to deplete additive genetic variation in male traits. This should preclude such trait-based choice from resulting in genetic benefits to offspring, and yet genetic benefits are the explanation for the choice. This evolutionary conundrum is known as the lek paradox.

Leks of leks: a role for hotspots in lek evolution?

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1994
A lek is a cluster of males on display territories. Despite the attention that lek mating systems have received, the factors involved in lek evolution are still poorly understood. The ‘hotspot’ hypothesis suggests that population level patterns of female movement and/or dispersion determine male settlement patterns.

Mate choice on leks

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1991
In lek-breeding animals, males defend tiny territories clustered into arenas, where females come to mate. Typically, most lek males secure relatively few copulations while a small number are highly successful. Recent studies suggest that the skewed distribution of matings seen at leks may be the result of females using a variety of criteria to select ...

Lek size, male mating skew and the evolution of lekking

Nature, 1995
DESPITE extensive theoretical effort1–8, the evolution of lekking as a mating system remains a controversial issue9,10. Leks are non-resource-based mating aggregations2, but may also be regarded as patches differing in female encounter rate2, 3, 5, 7. We report here a new distribution model that incorporates variation in male mating skew with lek size.

Towards a resolution of the lek paradox

Nature, 2001
Genetic benefits in the shape of 'good genes' have been invoked to explain costly female choice in the absence of direct fitness benefits. Little genetic variance in fitness traits is expected, however, because directional selection tends to drive beneficial alleles to fixation. There seems to be little potential, therefore, for female choice to result

Size and stability of vertebrate leks

Animal Behaviour, 1999
Lek size varies greatly among lekking species. At present there is no explicit theoretical explanation for this diversity. We extend an existing model of optimal lek size that incorporates female mating preferences and male-male contest competition. The model shows that variation in lek size is predicted by the interaction between lek size, overall ...
