Sexual selection Draft

Submitted by jmalloldiaz on Sat, 11/24/2018 - 13:18

Extreme sexual displays and ornaments are found in species with promiscuous mating because they are subjected to strong sexual selection. This strong sexual selection is due to lots of variability in reproductive success, with a few males monopolizing reproduction, and a high cost for breeding successfully. (According to Bateman’s gradient, the steeper the slope the stronger the sexual selection).
