Competitive structure and the operation of sexual selection

Competitive structure and the operation of sexual selection

In this thesis I set out to further our understanding of two broad questions, 1) why it is that sexual selection favours the evolution of particular traits and 2) why do the patterns of sexual selection on such traits differ between groups and populations? Specifically, I focused on the role that va...
