متن کاملAdaptive plasticity in female mate choice dampens sexual selection on male ornaments in the lark bunting.
Theory on the evolution of ornamental male traits by sexual selection assumes consistency in selection over time. Temporal variation in female choice could dampen sexual selection, but scant information exists on the degree to which individual female preferences are flexible. Here we show that in lark buntings sexual selection on male traits varied dramatically across years and, in some cases, ...
متن کاملHow is female mate choice affected by male competition?
The plethora of studies devoted to the topics of male competition and female mate choice belie the fact that their interaction remains poorly understood. Indeed, on the question of whether competition should help or hinder the choice process, opinions scattered throughout the sexual selection literature seem unnecessarily polarised. We argue, in the light of recent theoretical and empirical adv...

Get out of your chair and go look at some animals behaving. I hope that spring is in the air so that you can see animals courting and mating. Look at insects, birds, mammals, or reptiles. Go to the beach and look at the fiddler crabs. So sad if the dead of winter has set in and animals aren’t engaged in mating rituals. Look at fish in an aquarium. Go to a tropical fish store and look at a tank ...
متن کاملSexual Selection on male cuticular hydrocarbons via male–male competition and female choice
Traditional views of sexual selection assumed that male-male competition and female mate choice work in harmony, selecting upon the same traits in the same direction. However, we now know that this is not always the case and that these two mechanisms often impose conflicting selection on male sexual traits. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) have been shown to be linked to both social dominance and ...
