Look good to die or look poor to survive: antler properties in a malnourished sika deer population
Abstract The antlers of male deer function as visual displays of power, and as physical weapons to stag opponents, thereby functioning as determinants of social rank. Thus, stags with long and “magnificent” antlers would have more chances for reproductive success. Cervid antlers...
