Evolution: Natural selection, sexual selection, and the jaws of death.

Current biology : CB - 27 Sept 2021

Polak Michal, Tomkins Joseph L

Abstract excerpt

Traits that increase reproductive success in males can have negative fitness consequences in females. A new study shows that natural selection by a predator that targets males with larger secondary sexual traits drives an evolutionary increase in female fitness.
