Sexually selected traits and adult survival: a meta-analysis.

The Quarterly review of biology - 1 Mar 2001

Jennions M D, Møller A P, Petrie M

Abstract excerpt

Traits correlated with male mating success are likely to be subject to sexual selection. Sexually selected characters are thought to be costly to develop and maintain. If males do not vary their investment in sexual traits in relation to their ability to bear the costs, there should be a negative relationship between male longevity or survival and the expression of sexual traits. In particular, a negative...
