In a savanna ecosystem, scientists investigate a species of antelope. Male antelopes display elaborate horns, which are used in ritualized combat during the mating season. Females are observed to choose mates with larger and more symmetrical horns. Which hypothesis suggests that the preference for males with larger and more symmetrical horns is based on the direct correlation between horn size and the male's overall physical condition?

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.
