AbstractPatterns of mating vary with the reproductive biology and spatial structure of a species, and combine to influence levels and dynamics of genetic diversity. Knowledge of all aspects of a species' mating system is necessary to understand the distribution of genetic variation between individuals, gene flow within and between populations, what ...

Variation in mating systems of salamanders: Mate guarding or territoriality?
Behavioural Processes, 2014Two of the most common mating tactics in vertebrates are mate guarding and territoriality, yet much of the research on these strategies has focused on mating systems in birds, despite novel insights gained from studying less traditional systems. North American stream salamanders that comprise the Eurycea bislineata complex represent an excellent ...

Mate Selection and Mating Systems in Seabirds
1980This chapter examines the evolutionary and ecological factors that have influenced courtship and mating patterns of marine birds. The literature on the reproductive behavior of seabirds is vast, and it is not my purpose to review it here. Rather, I focus attention on several questions and seek patterns that may help us understand aspects of variation ...
