- Sexual Selection in Bowerbirds
This web site explores the "evolution of mate choice and male display in nonresource-based mating systems such as occurs in lekking species. Most bowerbirds have a lek-like mating system and males have no role in parental care but they build intricate and often finely crafted stick structures associated with their display sites called bowers. We study bowerbirds as a model system for understanding the evolution of complex male sexual display and related processes like mate searching."
