摘要

In the Azorean rock-pool blenny, sexually active males may adopt alternativereproductive tactics. In the present paper the relationship between the presence ofsatellite males and the reproductive success of nest-holders was investigated bycomparing nests with and without an associated satellite male. Males with anassociated satellite male suffered more conspeci®c intrusions but they did notdisplay a higher frequency of attacks towards conspeci®cs. Nest-holder maleswere more aggressive towards other conspeci®cs than towards satellites and thetolerance of nest-holders towards satellites was inversely correlated with the timespent by the satellites in the breeding territory, which suggests control by the nest-holder male of the satellite investment in shared territorial defence. Nest-holderswith an associated satellite male had higher condition factors and received morefemale visits and more spawnings. These results bear two possible interpretations.(1) Nest-holders bene®t from the presence of a satellite male by increasedattractiveness of their nests to females; satellite males are mutualists helping todefend the nest-owner's territory and to attract females, which is why they aretolerated. (2) Satellite males associate preferentially with more successful nest-holder males which have higher condition factors, and by doing so have moreopportunities to achieve parasitic fertilizations. Only experiments will allow thesetwo hypotheses to be distinguished.
