Understanding the processes that govern mating behaviors is a fundamental goal of evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology. Population-level patterns of mate acquisition and offspring production, otherwise known as the genetic mating system, play a central role in the sexual selection on morphological and behavioral traits and may facilitate speciation. The central hypothesis of this research is that variation in environmental conditions, such as temperature, turbidity, and habitat, and demographic influences such as population density, sex ratios and temporal availability of mates, may limit mating and reproductive success in a predictive manner. Therefore the goal of this dissertation is to examine the contributions of geographic an...
