Abstract
While natural selection favors traits that enhance survival and overall fitness, sexual selection favors those that increase an individual’s access to the gametes of the opposite sex. Among such traits are weapons to compete against rivals or ornaments to impress mates, both increasing access to copulation. However, competition for fertilization continues after mating in the form of sperm competition and cryptic female choice. Typically, males are under stronger sexual selection, being limited by the number of females willing to mate
