Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection in which certain traits evolve as they grant possessors of those traits greater success in obtaining a mate. Intrasexual selection is a mechanism by which members of the same sex (usually males) compete against each other for reproductive access to members of the opposite sex. Intrasexual selection often favours the adaption of larger size, strength and weaponry in the competing sex, as reproductive fitness is dependant on an individuals ability to outcompete rivals in direct encounters.
Dimensions: 16 x 16 x 6cm
