Positive allometry of sexually selected traits: Do metabolic maintenance costs play an important role?

Ummat Somjee

Summary: Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated traits in nature, with energetic maintenance costs potentially influencing investment and maintenance of these traits based on body size. The relationships between energy use and body size may shape the relative scaling of sexually selected traits across diverse taxa.

Exaggerated sexually selected weapons maintained with disproportionately low metabolic costs in a single species with extreme size variation

Ummat Somjee et al.

Summary: Research shows that larger individuals typically have lower mass-specific metabolic rates, while sexually selected weapons can contribute significantly to body mass, with larger individuals possessing disproportionately larger weapons. The study on New Zealand giraffe weevils reveals extreme variation in male body mass, with larger males bearing disproportionately larger weapons at a lower metabolic cost.

Summary: The study reveals that the nutritional status has a significant impact on the structural integrity of the insect's weapon, with better nutrition resulting in larger and more puncture-resistant weapons.
