Mutual mate choice occurs when members of each sex will reject some potential mates in efforts to encounter better prospects later. The decision to reject may represent the interaction between mate preferences, mate availability, and temporal constra

Male sand fiddler crabs, Uca pugilator (Ocypodidae), possess a single enlarged claw that is used in ritualized contests over breeding burrows. Ability to close the claw forcefully, which increases with claw size and stoutness, may promote success in

Large males of the soldier beetle, Chauliognathus pennsylvanicus (Cantharidae), exercise choice for larger females in the field and laboratory. The length of copulation limits the maximum mating rate to once per day. This may afford more competitive

Sand fiddler crab males, Uca pugilator (Brachyura: Ocypodidae), use their single enlarged claw as a weapon in fights for burrows and as a signal to attract females to burrows. Seventy-three males from a South Carolina marsh were in reared in the labo

Males of the sand fiddler crab Uca pugilator possess a greatly enlarged claw that is used as a weapon in ritualized contests for control of breeding burrows and is waved to attract females to breeding burrows. Approximately 5400 crabs were collected

Laboratory measures of whole-animal performance are expected to correlate with morphological indices and success in activities that contribute to fitness. Males of the sand fiddler crab, Uca pugilator Bosc (Brachyura Ocipodidae), possess a single enl

The Atlantic sand fiddler crab Uca pugilator is an extremely abundant crab found along the eastern coast of the United States. Fiddler crabs have a life cycle with an obligatory planktonic larval phase of 30 - 90 days, which might be expected to lead

In fiddler crabs, males develop profound left-right asymmetry as a large claw grows opposite a small feeding appendage. Females are symmetrical, with paired small feeding appendages. The claw, used in signaling and contests, may favor adaptive respon

Male sand fiddler crabs, Uca pugilator, wave a claw to attract females to a breeding burrow. The effect of claw size on the likelihood of attracting mate-seeking females is little studied although in some other species females preferentially approach
