Sneaking tactics, mating, subordinate males

Abstract

Females typically mate with dominant males than subordinate males. When subordinate males unable to attract females themselves, they sneak mating. There are specific sneaking tactics and strategies among invertebrate, fish, amphibian and bird. The fertilized success depends on sperm competition of sneaks and guards.
