Male-Male Competition

Male-male competition refers to the behaviors and strategies males use to gain advantages in reproductive success, often vying for access to females or dominance within a group. This can include physical contests, displays of strength or attractiveness, and social signaling to establish dominance or avoid conflict. Such competition helps determine which males are more likely to reproduce, influencing traits and behaviors within a species. It is a natural part of evolution, shaping traits that enhance success in competing for mates.
