Territoriality and male-biased sexual size dimorphism in Argia reclusa (Odonata: Zygoptera)
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERGHEIDELBERG, 2012)
In Odonata, many species present sexual size dimorphism (SSD), which can be associated with male territoriality in Zygoptera. We hypothesized that in the territorial damselfly Argia reclusa, male-male competition can favor ...
Activity budget patterns in family-group and solitary territorial male guanacos

Show me you care: female mate choice based on egg attendance rather than male or territorial traits
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2020-07-01)
Female mate choice is often based on male traits, including signals or behaviors, and/or the quality of a male's territory. In species with obligate paternal care, where care directly affects offspring survival, females ...
Size-Dependent Selective Mechanisms on Males and Females and the Evolution of Sexual Size Dimorphism in Frogs
(Univ Chicago Press, 2014-12-01)
Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) varies in animals from male biased to female biased. The evolution of SSD is potentially influenced by a number of factors, such as territoriality, fecundity, and temporal breeding patterns ...
Seasonal effects of density on territory occupation by males of the satyrine butterfly Paryphthimoides phronius (Butler 1867)

Variable assessment of wing colouration in aerial contests of the red-winged damselfly Mnesarete pudica (Zygoptera, Calopterygidae)
(2015)
Wing pigmentation is a trait that predicts the outcome of male contests in some damselflies. Thus, it is reasonable to suppose that males would have the ability to assess wing pigmentation and adjust investment in a fight ...
Resource defense polygyny shifts to female defense polygyny over the course of the reproductive season of a Neotropical harvestman
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Although studies classify the polygynous mating system of a given species into female defense polygyny (FDP) or resource defense polygyny (RDP), the boundary between these two categories is often slight. Males of some ...
No size or density effect on alternative mate-locating tactics in the tropical damselfly Hetaerina rosea males (Odonata: Calopterygidae)
(Revista De Biologia TropicalSan JoseCosta Rica, 2009)
Reproductive Biology and Sexual Dimorphism in Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Anura: Hylidae)
(2021-03-19)
The general pattern of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in amphibians is characterized by females being larger than males. However, the reverse pattern, a male-biased SSD, may be widespread within some particular groups, as ...
