Why would evolution favor traits that make survival more difficult? In this lesson, students will learn how sexual selection drives evolution by favoring traits that increase reproductive success rather than survival. Students will explore how mating advantages and survival advantages can sometimes conflict, using examples such as peacock tails, elk antlers, and elaborate courtship displays to investigate why costly traits can persist in populations. Finally, students will examine how parental investment influences mate choice and competition, and how these forces shape the traits that become more common over generations.
