Resumo(s)
In the peacock blenny Salaria pavo small sneaker males tried to steal ‘fertilizations’ at most in
two different nests of large nesting males throughout the breeding season and spent most of
their time associated with a particular nest. Sneakers did not associate with ripe females. As
nesting males were the limiting reproductive resource in this population due to the scarcity of
appropriate nest sites, sneakers were likely to maximize their chances of achieving parasitic
fertilization of eggs by associating with successful nests.
