able to get significant results...
How about:
3 leks; watch all DP's regularly
could answer: How much exchange between DP's
is there?
Is the same ♂ dominant at
all the
perches?
Do ♂s visit the or
just the 1° one?
Need simultaneous watches!
10 DP's watched intensively; select 1 per lek w/
lots of activity
could answer: Who is α/β? All dominance ranks
T levels different between α/β?
Behavioral descriptions
Perhaps know den status of
♂ w/ paternity
Song rate different by T, rank?
Type of partners different?
Are partners relatives?
Additional perches: ♂'s known to display?
Perhaps rank?
(for paternity question)
partners who attract
females for display.
So what are the leks?
