Sexual selection in insects is about how sexual selection functions in insects. Among social insects, males have evolved exaggerated adornments and mechanisms for self-defense. These traits play a role in increasing male reproductive expectations by triggering male-male completion or influencing the female mate choice, and can be thought of as functioning on three different levels: individuals, colonies, and populations within an area.
