Ewe are what ewe wear: bigger horns, better ewes and the potential consequence of trophy hunting on female fitness in bighorn sheep.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 30 Mar 2022

Deakin Samuel, Festa-Bianchet Marco, Miller Joshua M, Pelletier Fanie, Coltman David W

Abstract excerpt

In polygynous species, secondary sexual traits such as weapons or elaborate ornaments have evolved through intrasexual competition for mates. In some species, these traits are present in both sexes but are underdeveloped in the sex facing lower intrasexual competition for mates. It is often assumed that these underdeveloped sexually selected traits are a vestige of strong sexual selection on the other sex. Here,...
