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 ...
