Calculate the area of a room or space by multiplying the length in feet by the width in feet. If the answer is 200, for example, then the space is 200 square feet. For 12-inch tiles, the total area is also the number of floor tiles required to cover the space. To calculate the appropriate number for other sizes of floor tiles, determine the size of that tile in square feet. For example, four 6-inch tiles make up one 12-inch tile.
A lekking species is defined by the following characteristics: male displays, strong female mate choice, and the conferring of male indirect benefits. Although lekking is most prevalent among avian species, lekking behavior is found in insects, amphibians, and mammals as well.
This word of Swedish derivation, describes a pattern of mating behavior seen only in a small number of birds around the world. In North America its chief practitioners are Greater and Lesser Prairie-Chickens, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Sage Grouse, and Buff-breasted Sandpipers. During the mating season, the males of lekking species gather into small clusters of territories, called leks, or arenas. Each male defends a territory within the lek although the area may only be a few yards across.
