Question:

Leks

Author: Judzea Gatt



Answer:

Gathering of males to display to females so females will choose mate. Males aggregate to spots where females are to show off, reduced risk of predation and greater resources than having to hunt down females. Females prefer to select mates form aggregations of males to compare. Most common in birds but also seen in whales, seals and some frogs and insects. Often in leks only one male gets all mates.
