Male and female preferences for nest characteristics under paternal care.

Females spawned with the same male in 12 out of 18 cases in the sand height treatment and 18 out of 23 in the entrance treatment, resulting in highly significant choice consistency when pooled across experiments (exact p = 0.0043, 95% CrI for choice consistency = 0.571–0.858). 4 DISCUSSION 4.1 No male preference for specific nest models, but more nest‐building investment at chosen nests We found no evidence that males discriminated among the offered nest models and thus found no support for the hypothesis that cover height or entrance width constitute relevant components of male nest choice.
