Male northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) compete with one another for territories along the beach and defend these

territories throughout the breeding season. The males that win the male-male competitions defend the "best" territories and have access to females that stay in that territory of the beach. The females land on the beach during mating season, chose which territory of the beach to join, and then disproportionately breed with the male that defends that area of the beach. At what point may intersexual selection occur in these elephant seals?

Explanation:

in an energy pyramid large amount of the energy gets dissipated only 10% of the energy is transferred to other level. Trophic level tells the placement of organism in a energy pyramid.

If at any time the pyramid gets blocked:

The passing of biomass and energy gets break to each level.

The organism at the higher level will be scarce of resources as nutrition and energy for growth, multiplication and metabolism.

The organisms at the higher level will get die eventually and vanish from the earth as no reproduction.

The energy dissipated will be in large amount disturbing the ecological chain.

The imbalance in energy would cause warming up of the planet and variety in fauna would be limited.
