Females search for mates in specific habitats-Limnetic females search for limnetic males in
open habitat- Benthic females search for benthic males in
vegetated habitat

Questions:
1) Where will benthic and limnetic males nest?
2) How will benthic and limnetic females find mates if vegetation is missing?

Where will limnetic males and benthic males build their nests?
VEGETATIONOPENWe predict that benthic maleswill nest in vegetation and limnetic males will nest in the open

OPEN OPENWhat do you predict?

Where will limnetic males and benthic males build their nests?
VEGETATIONOPENWe predict that benthic maleswill nest in vegetation and limnetic males will nest in the open
OPEN OPENIt turns out thatBenthic males are very aggressive. They keep limnetic males from building nests.
