Figure 1 Synchronous waving and female choice in fiddler crabs. (A) Natural courtship wave synchrony (α values; see text) between a female-visited male and his nearest neighbours (n = 24 females). (B) Proportion of females that approached the synchronously or asynchronously waving pair (n = 40 females), for the asynchronous leader-follower pair α = 60°. (C) As for (B) but α = 30°.
