Could this be an indication of a larger permitted travelling space for the females, since they are not attacked by the males?, or in a more general perspective, could it be an adaptive strategy of the females in order to search for the optimal males?. These are questions that require further investi- gation to be Fig. 8 (left). — Home ranges for the recognized males (a) and females (b) considering the overall recording period.
