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. |
