Lek mating females away from the hotshot. A manipulative experiment using the little bustard, "Tetrax tetrax", was done to test the various lek evolution models. The experiment involved varying the size and sex ratio of leks using decoys. To test whether or not the presence of a hotshot determined lek formation, a hotshot little bustard decoy was placed within a lek.

This model predicts that leks will form
