Draft 3 Week 10

Lek is an occasion for those single birds that need a mate. Birds like manakin will gather to one place and start to show off their displays in terms of plumage, color, vocalization, or dances. In a lek, the male will perform and the female will follow if they like the performance. It is found that these males that form leks have a innate kinship to group up together to win a female to mate. But in the Wild Turkey it is found that these males will form a kinship to collect females but only one of these males have the privilege to mate with the female they like. The kinship appears to be unfair for those males that are only there to assist the one male. However, this kinship does improve the reproduction to be more efficient than one male trying to mate with their desired female.
