The evolution of leks - clusters of small territories where males congregate and display in order to attract mates - is an important topic in behavioural ecology because of the insights it offers into female mate choice, sexual selection, and the evolution of mating systems. This monograph draws together existing knowledge on two main aspects of lekking: why do leks evolve in some species and not others, and why do females of certain lekking species select their mates even though such behaviour reaps few or no material benefits for them?
