Reproductive advantage of the winners of male-male competition in Drosophila prolongata
【Abstract】
In the resource-defence mating system, where males compete for limited resources to acquire females, male traits associated with fighting ability are selected, leading to the evolution of sexual dimorphism. In a sexually dimorphic fruit fly Drosophila prolongata, by using an automated behaviour analysis tool based on deep neural network, we found that the male-male competition led to the exclusive occupation of resources, increasing the courtship opportunities of the resource holders.
