Project Description This project aims to monitor, quantify, and analyze the mating behavior of an interesting species of tropical bird, the white-bearded manakin (Manacus manacus). Male white-bearded manakins congregate at locations called “leks” to perform elaborate, energetically costly mating displays to attract females. These displays involve leaping between vertical saplings and smashing their wings together […]
