Behavioural Ecology of the Little Bustard: Sexual Selection and Mating Systems,ar emphasis on breeding behaviour, sexual selection and mating systems, as well as their relevance for little bustard conservation. We discuss the evolutionary forces that drive the species’ lekking behaviour and its variations under the framework of sexual selection theory. We also discuss other le

Despite the effort made during the last years, the role of biotic interactions on the little bustard population dynamics remains mostly unexplored. Studies on competition between little and great bustards conclude that these two species compete asymmetrically. The little bustard chang

In spite of this dramatic situation, the Little Bustard is an interesting model species for topics as vari
