Runaway Sexual Selection Model

Original language description

Runaway selection is an evolutionary mechanism proposed in the 1930s by statistician and evolutionary biologist R.A. Fisher in his book The genetical theory of natural selection (Fisher, 1958) as an explanation for the emergence of the so-called exaggerated secondary sexual characteristics through sexual selection. According to Fisher, the origin of these often-conspicuous structures, which sometimes reduce their bearer&apos;s chances of survival in the wild, lies in sexual selection. Specifically, the emergence of these traits involves the existence of a characteristic that increases the fitness of its bearer.
