Sex in a Lekking Lizard: Hormones, Alternative Strategies, and Mating Success in Marine Iguanas (Amblyrhynchus Cristatus)

Abstract

dc:description

"My dissertation research studies the mechanism that marine iguanas use to mediate tradeoffs between mortality and reproductive success associated with alternative strategies. I studied hormonal correlates of alternative phenotypes and mating strategies; which factors affect ""decisions"" about which strategy to use; and diurnal and seasonal changes in hormone levels."
