The individual behavioral preferences (B) of female (diamonds, n = 10) and male (triangles, n = 16) H. abdominalis that showed reproductive behavior in the preference zones during mate-choice experiments. Behavioral preference (B) is defined as the relative proportion of time a focal individual spent courting the large partner compared to the total time it spent courting both partners. Consequently, preference values above 0.5 indicate that more reproductive activity was shown toward the large partner, while values below 0.5 indicate that more activity was shown toward the small partner
