A general mechanism for conditional expression of exaggerated sexually-selected traits.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Oct 2013

Abstract excerpt

Sexually-selected exaggerated traits tend to be unusually reliable signals of individual condition, as their expression tends to be more sensitive to nutritional history and physiological circumstance than that of other phenotypes. As such, these traits are the foundation for many models of sexual selection and animal communication, such as "handicap" and "good genes" models. Exactly how expression of these...
