The impact of sexual selection on population dynamics.

In the study published in Ecology Letters  https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ele.70377 Neha Pandey and colleagues report that populations in which males are aggressive and armoured in lethal weapons are less stable compared to populations in which males are benign. Populations with aggressive males are mores sensitive to population disturbances and show slower recovery.
