A widely held principle in behavioral ecological research is that polygynous social systems evolve either by direct male defense of females or male defense of resources, although which of these mechanisms applies in particular species is rarely exami

Incorporating microsatellite techniques to determine parentage is a powerful addition to behavioral mating system studies in wild animals. Nonetheless, in some tetrapod taxa such as lizards, there are relatively few direct comparisons of individual r

Territory defence is widely assumed to be adaptive because it enhances reproductive success. However, empirical evidence for such a benefit is scarce or nonexistent for many types of territorial organisms. The roles of intraspecific aggression versus

Females in diverse vertebrate and invertebrate clades often mate and produce offspring with multiple male partners. Deciphering the evolutionary mechanisms underlying the origins of females producing offspring with multiple sires remains a challengin

Theory predicts the evolution of alternative male social tactics when intense competition coupled with the superior competitive ability of some individuals limits access to reproductive opportunities by others. How selection has shaped alternative so

Caudal displays that lure or divert the attention of prey are well documented in legless squamates that use sit-and-wait foraging. By contrast, empirical evidence that caudal displays serve to distract prey is lacking in legged lizards. Preliminary o

Antipredator behavioral tactics have evolved in phylogenetically diverse animal clades and often involve prey initiating conspicuous display patterns when encountering potential predators. Using detailed behavioral observations in the field, we repor

Male slider turtles change coloration ontogenetically, becoming melanistic as they age and approach the body size of sexually mature females. Several investigators have suggested that melanism is favored by sexual selection, although there is little
