Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 643-652, November 2025.
Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,
