Funded Activity Summary

Re-evaluating evolution by examining developmental plasticity in response to the social environment. Our understanding of trait evolution is derived from our assumption that traits are a signal of male quality as they are costly to produce. The project will integrate this concept with a new theory stating that males shift their development to exploit the weaknesses of rivals; thereby leading to a more holistic understanding of evolution.
