Question

A beetle species has two distinct male morphs: a large one similar to males in closely related species and a smaller one that is successful by sneaking around the guarding behavior of the larger males. This species is a clear example of _________.

Answer 1

This species is a clear example of Indirect intersexual selection.

• Darwin distinguished between Intrasexual and intersexual sexual selection.
• While Intrasexual selection happens when members of the same sex fight for mates, intersexual selection takes place when one sex selects the members of the opposite sex to mate with.
• Interactions between a species' males and females lead to intersexual selection.
• Males most often develop and exhibit features or behavioral patterns that appeal to the opposite sex.
• Such characteristics include, for instance, a bird's plumage, a frog's mating cry, and a fish's courtship behavior.
