The expression of territorial behavior in wild species is especially suited to explore how animals integrate individual traits with dynamic environmental and social contexts. In this study, we focused on the seasonal variation of the determinants of territory size in the weakly electric fish Gymnotus omarorum . This species is a seasonal breeder that displays year-long territorial aggression, in which female and male dyads exhibit indistinguishable non-breeding territorial agonistic behavior and the only significant predictor of contest outcome is body size. We carried out field surveys across seasons that included the identification of individual location, measurements of water physico-chemical variables, characterization of individual morphometric and physiological traits, and their correlation to spatial distribution. Although Gymnotus omarorum tolerates a wide range of dissolved oxygen concentration, territory size correlated with dissolved oxygen in both seasons. In the non-breeding season, we show that territory size is sexually monomorphic and explained only by body size. In the breeding season, while body size no longer correlated with territory size, evidence of sexual differences in territory size determinants emerged. First, the overall spatial arrangement adopted a sexual bias. Second, territory size depended on gonadal hormones in both sexes, which was expected for males, but not previously reported in females. Third, females' territory size correlated with gonadal size and females showed relatively larger territories than males, probably to meet sexually dimorphic energetic requirements. This study provides evidence of seasonal changes in factors correlated with territory size and contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying behavioral plasticity.
