Summary:
"Sexual selection, Darwin's other big idea, is the selection for particular traits and behaviors that results from (usually) female choice and male competition. It can produce flamboyant features, such as the peacock's tail, which would seem to be detrimental to survival. This work explores our understanding of how sexual selection works."--Publisher description.
