- Title
Bombina Defy Mate Choice Expectations.
- Abstract
The article investigates mate choice in Yellow-bellied Toads, focusing on whether they select mates based on genetic compatibility. Topics discussed include the high incidence of inbreeding among wild frogs, the courtship trials comparing genetically similar versus dissimilar males, and the surprising finding that relatedness and testosterone levels, rather than genetic dissimilarity, predict courtship success.
