    How does evolution happen? Through a gradual process called selection. Individuals that are better equipped to survive and reproduce pass those traits to their offspring. These "selected" changes accumulate over thousands of years. We tend to think of natural selection-"survival of the fittest"-but sexual selection works the same way and can be just as strong in shaping how species look and act.

    In case of the fancy males, a bit more elaborate explanation so as to "why" would be, that there may be two ways how the fancy traits are relevant for fitness. One option is, that if a male develops useless fancy traits and funny courtship behavior, and still has enough energy and enough capability to survive and escape from predators, that indirectly says, he´s got some very good genes other than those coding for the fancy traits. Another option is, that within the karyotyp, the fancy genes may bond with some high quality genes which are directly relevant for survival and fertility, and are carried onto the next generation together, so the fancy traits then serve as markers of the presence of those highly appreciated genes. Gene interactions that would only enable the development of fancy traits if high quality genes are present, are also possible. Whichever the case, not only males get selected. Females are also subjected to selection, regarding their mating choices. It is easy to see, how the males who can demonstrate their wholesome genetic qualities get preffered, and how females who prefer males who really have some hidden quality behind their fanciness, get also preferred.

    One note: sexual selection is practically part of signal selection. The main question in this case is why some treats are more attractive than others? The reason is that they are more attractive because they honestly present how good is the male comparing to other males, as explained in the handicap principle, or honest signaling (different name for the same principle).

    but if you have a mutation but that mutation is not dominant, wouldnt it just die out anyway? Like if you had blue eyes and so the females chose you, but all the females had black eyes, wouldnt all the offspring have black eyes?

    Its selection. They dont have to 'know if it works'. The males with non useful traits and females that chose those mates get selected against. The males with useful traits and females that chose them get selected for. If a males has certain colors that mean they produce more of a vitamin, and another has a color that means he produces less of a vitamin, the females that have a tendency for the 'useless color' will be selected against, leaving only females that want the good color. I think.

    • @MrMachoman47
      @MrMachoman47 2 года назад +3

      Had this idea as well. Tricky thing is that you'd have to consider that which allows for the selection of "good colour" as being heritable. You have to see it as a particular trait but pinpointing that isn't as straight forward as novel observable traits. It might be a complex system that won't be as immediately inherited as the traits its selecting. Remember that not every trait has the same heritability even if it does have genetic elements to it.

    The reason given for the burly and fancy traits not to be passed on to the female were not adequate. They cannot simply choose the traits that will or will not benefit them. In fact, in some species the male and female are virtually identical.

      Because female reproduction is limited by num of eggs and is expensive in terms of the energy required. So it matters to the females to be picky if she's investing so much. Males on the other hand, can produce tons of sperm so they have better reproductive chances with less investment.

      @@shakiraquinones6230 Exactly. If there are 5 males and 5 females in a room a female can only have one offspring in 9 months. One male could have 5 offspring in 9 months, so it makes sense from a point of natural selection and passing down the best traits that the females select the best candidate among them. Woman are the limiting factor and thus have the power....at least before the sex
