Animals use a variety of traits such as brightly colored plumage, nuptial gifts, chemical signaling, or intricate displays to attract mates. Long-tailed manakins (Chiroxiphia linearis) exhibit one of the more elaborate mating rituals found in the animal world. C. linearis form lek mating systems, where a group of males aggregate for cooperative courtship displays. They perform an alpha-beta duet that serves as a long-range cue to attract females to their perch zone for further display. Higher frequency matching in this duet has been correlated to higher courtship success. I investigated differences between alpha-beta vocalizations within and between leks, as well as the relationship between their song performance and proximity to other leks...
