Discussion

Analysis finds no difference in survival rates of territorial and sneaker male damselflies, suggesting similar lifespan under varying temperatures.

There is no significant difference in survival rates between territorial and sneaker male damselflies, which implies similar lifespans.
Temperature consistently affects survival rates, with elevated temperatures leading to declines.
Mark‐release‐resighting models helped estimate survival rates across multiple years and conditions.
Research indicates that while survival rates are similar, reproductive success may vary based on mating strategy.

Tsubaki et al. (2025) studied this question.
