		Research Only distance matters – non-choosy females in a poison frog population Ivonne Meuche, Oscar Brusa, K Linsenmair, Alexander Keller, Heike Pröhl Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:29 (20 May 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| ePUB \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Females in a studied population of strawberry poison dart frogs select mates purely based on distance. In a lek-based mating system, males compete for females attention through vocalizations. However, in the studied population, females are not attracted by the quality of the call, instead they opt for the closest male regardless of presumed heritable traits or parenting skills.
