Darwin’s Tea Party Sexual Selection
2
Sexual selection is (usually) female choice of male mating partners.
3
The female selects the male which may often appear to have non-adaptive features.
4
This is why (unlike most human societies) it is often the male of the species that has wonderful colourings, special “tools,” weapons or other features.
5
The more exaggerated the feature, the more chance the male will be successful in getting selected by the female.
6
Males sometimes compete physically for the chance to mate, using their “weapons”
7
The Bower bird Sexual selection is also about the selection of behaviourial features, not just physical features.
