Sexual Selection - The American Biology Teacher

When some males mate with more than one female, many males cannot mate at all and sexual selection on males may become exaggerated. In fact, several studies suggest there is a tendency for ...

Limits to natural selection

Following Darwin and Wallace's proposal of adaptation by natural selection, it was argued that there had not been enough time since the formation of the earth for natural selection to act (Ref. 4 p206), and that sexual ...
