Summary

[edit]
Description Animal phenotypes result from the effect of both natural and sexual selection. Sexual selection favours elaborate ornaments or behavioural traits that render males more attractive to females.

As long as loud-calling male frogs will obtain higher reproductive success than silent males, this scene will continue to be.
