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

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."
