  • 10k Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Da ihr Fortpflanzungserfolg durch den Zugang zu fertilen Weibchen limitiert ist, folgen Männchen in der Regel einem „kopulatorischen Imperativ“ (Ghiselin 1974). Dabei werden Merkmale, welche die Wahrscheinlichkeit, zu einer Paarungsgelegenheit zu kommen, auch nur minimal erhöhen, von intrasexueller Selektion positiv bewertet. Sexuell selektierte Anpassungen finden sich dabei in ganz unterschiedlichen Merkmalen, wobei das Verhalten aber eine herausragende Rolle spielt.
