Antelope are often classified by their reproductive behavior.

Small antelope, such as [[dik-dik]]s, tend to be monogamous. They live in a forest environment with patchy resources, and a male is unable to monopolize more than one female due to this sparse distribution. Larger forest species often form very small herds of two to four females and one male.

Some species, such as [[lechwe]]s, pursue a lek breeding system, where the males gather on a lekking ground and compete for a small territory, while the females appraise males and choose one with which to mate.

Large grazing antelope, such as [[impala]] or [[wildebeest]], form large herds made up of many females and a single breeding male, which excludes all other males, often by combat.
