Shark Bay dugongs in summer. I: Lek mating.
Behaviour 134(5-6): 433-462. 6 figs. May 1997.
–Describes dugong behavior in a shallow, sparsely-vegetated cove of Shark Bay, Western Australia, where presumed males defended small zones of activity, performed displays, and evidently mated. This aggregation of males on display territories meets all the requirements of a classic lek, in contrast to the "mating herd" pattern of sirs. elsewhere.
