Summary Introduction
To review:
The characteristics of a male that increases its attractiveness to a female in a monogamous species.
Introduction:
Monogamous species are those in which one male is involved with a single female to produce offspring(s). The interactions between the offspring and the parents are governed by the reproductive activities of the male and the female.
