In some species males increase their reproductive success by forcing females to copulate with them, usually by grasping the female or pinning her to the ground to prevent her from escaping. Here we report an example of males coercing copulation by tr

Males often possess traits, such as horns, claws, and tusks, which are used during male–male combat. Studies suggest that selection has fine tuned these weapons to improve their effectiveness and that the shape of these weapons provides cues for ma

The operational sex ratio (OSR: sexually active males: receptive females) predicts the intensity of competition for mates. It is less clear, however, under what circumstances, the OSR predicts the strength of sexual selection - that is, the extent to

If female mate choice is based on comparison of locally available mates rather than absolute, fixed criteria, a male’s attractiveness might depend on the attractiveness of his immediate competitors. We use robotic models to test whether the number

Physical strength and resource value are two key determinants of fighting success in most species. We investigated the role that resource value plays in determining fight outcome for a territory centred on a burrow in a fiddler crab, Uca annulipes. M

Differences in the intensity of male–male competition for high- and low-quality females affect their value as mates. This can favor the evolution of mating preferences that vary with inherent male competitiveness and/or context-dependent mate choic

How do females select a mate when they have mating preferences for multiple male traits? In experimental studies, female fiddler crabs (Uca mjoebergi) show a strong preference for males with larger claws and higher wave rates. In the field, there is

Large male fiddler crabs sometimes help smaller neighbours to defend their territories against intruders. These coalitions occur when the helper is likely to defeat the intruder (helper larger than intruder) and the neighbour is likely to lose his te

Context Understanding how different camera trap models vary in their ability to detect animals is important to help identify which cameras to use to meet the objectives of a study. Aims To compare the efficacy of four camera trap models (representing
