Description:
Byers and Dunn (Reports, 9 November 2012, p. 802) reported that sexual selection and natural selection are closely related in a wild population of pronghorns. Here, I argue that this conclusion is incorrect. Their main finding is due to the fact that, unsurprisingly, juvenile mortality and juvenile survival are negatively related across years.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Arnqvist, Goran -- 294333/European Research Council/International -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 May 3;340(6132):549. doi: 10.1126/science.1233413.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Animal Ecology, Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University, Norbyvagen 18D, SE75236 Uppsala, Sweden. goran.arnqvist@ebc.uu.se〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23641095" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
