Exaggerated evolution of male armaments via male–male competition

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
AbstractMales usually compete to gain access to prospective mates. Through this male–male competition, superior males have a higher chance of passing on their traits to the next generation of male offspring. One category of male traits is armaments, which are weapons used during competition, for example, the chelae of fiddler crabs and the antlers of ...

Male–male interactions select for conspicuous male coloration in damselflies [PDF]

Animal Behaviour, 2020
AbstractMale ornamentation, such as conspicuous male colouration, can evolve through female mate choice. Alternatively, in species without overt female mate preference, conspicuous male colouration can evolve via intrasexual selection to resolve male-male competition or to prevent costly male-male mating attempts.
