Full Description
This exam examines the concept of sexual selection as a driving force in evolution. Candidates will articulate the mechanisms by which sexual traits develop and how they affect reproductive success.
Sexual selection is pivotal for understanding mating behaviors and the dynamics of sexual dimorphism. Its implications are vital for the fields of behavioral ecology and evolutionary theory.
Candidates will demonstrate their ability to explain sexual selection mechanisms and their evolutionary significance through structured verbal assessments.
A comprehensive understanding of the interplay between sexual selection and other evolutionary forces is essential for success in this examination.
