The evolution of leks--clusters of small territories where males
congregate and display in order to attract mates--is of central
issue in behavioral ecology, because of the insights it offers into
female mate choice, sexual selection, and the evolution of mating
systems. In the first book on the subject, Jacob Hoglund and Rauno
Alatalo draw together existing knowledge on two main aspects of
lekking. Why do leks evolve in some species and not in others? Why
do females of certain lekking species select their mates even
though such behavior reaps few or no material benefits for them? In
each case they emphasize the importance of understanding the
selective forces that act on individuals in natural populations.
Hoglund and Alatalo synthesize the available information on lekking
in all animal groups and suggest new areas of research. Originally
published in 1995. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
