Sexual selection the selection pressures on males and females to obtain matings is known as sexual selection
Sexual selection takes two major forms Intersexual selection (also known as ‘mate choice’ or ‘female choice’) in which males compete with each other to be chosen by females Unlike the different types of natural selection, which focus on an organism’s survival and ability to pass on its genes, sexual selection depends on an individual’s reproductive success Darwin’s theory of sexual selection types of sexual selection examples of sexual selection why does sexual selection occur the theory of sexual selection put forward by darwin has met with both intrigue.
