Fluctuating selection strength and intense male competition underlie variation and exaggeration of a water strider's male weapon
Sexually selected traits can reach high degrees of phenotypic expression and variation under directional selection. A growing number of studies suggest that such selection can vary in space, time and form within and between populations. However, the impact of these fluctuations on sexual trait evolu...
