Damsels in Distress: The Hardships of Mating Behavior in Damselflies
Dr. Tom D. Schultz, Behavioral Ecologist, Denison University
Friday, February 10, 7:30 pm
Reproduction is a highly competitive process in damselflies. Dr. Schultz will examine stresses on both sexes under two different scenarios. In one, females are excessively harassed by males desperate to breed. In the other, males fight for the favor of choosy females. In both cases, the role that color plays in communication will be highlighted.
