| Folk dances from the Alps to the North American prairies imitate the displays of lekking males. |
| Amazingly, from 5,000 to 50,000 males may congregate during lekking, which occurs over a long breeding season in some cichlids. |
| In a recent study, the size and weight of males captured either lekking or resting at the same time in the vicinity of leks were measured. |
| Male grouse display lekking behavior, which is when many males come together in one area and put on displays to attract females. |
| We determined the frequencies of polyandrous mating and multiple paternity in the ruff, a lekking shorebird with a genetic dimorphism in male mating behavior. |
