Post [News Feed] Behavioural Ecologists Elucidated How Peahens Choose Their Mates, And Why
Since Darwin, the peacock exhibiting an elongated tail composed of ocelli has been a prime example of sexual selection. Classical studies show females prefer a high number of ocelli. New research published today in Ethology shows peahens may actually assess ocelli density. Adeline Loyau, Michel Saint Jalme and Gabriele Sorci of the National Museum of Natural History and the Laboratory of Evolutive Parasitology say "We calculated ocelli density and found it did explain female choice."
