Question: Is sexual selection for the evolution of larger horns and related fighting structures opposed by food constraints in bovids? Data studied: Horn circumference and length, pedicel height, skull weight, and body size (skull length) were measur... Read More about The evolution of fighting structures in hartebeest.

In species with low levels of sexual size dimorphism, it may be relatively easy to detect the role of natural selection in the evolution of body size. Habitat primary production (HPP) appears to be a key factor in the divergence of size in the harteb...
