For our main Wikipedia article, I will be working with Suellen Kong (Suellen Kong) and Gloria Williams (OluGW) on Female Intrasexual Selection Competition. We are planning on looking at the behaviour that females have towards other females in regards to securing a potential mate. We are planning on creating a new Wikipedia page for our topic, with a link to Sexual Jealousy [[1]].
We will be looking at: variables that influence female competition, indirect aggression/competition of females (female derogation) and self-promotion tactics that females use in order to secure a potential mate.
