Data from: Evidence of female preference for odour of distant over local males in a bat with female dispersal

Karin Schneeberger, Michael Schulze, Ingo Scheffler & Barbara Caspers
Geographic variation of sexual selected male traits is common in animals. Female choice also varies geographically and several studies found female preference for local males, which is assumed to lead to local adaptation and therefore increases fitness. As females are the non-dispersing sex in most mammalian taxa, this preference for local males might be explained by learning of male characteristics. Studies on preference of females in female-dispersing species are lacking so far. To find out...
