The showy tail does not impress children
The flashy tail of the public guys turned out to be useless in stimulating or attracting girls, a new study reveals. This work has touched upon the long-held belief that the beautiful coat of male work is an evolutionary product to meet the partner's choice.
With Indian male peacocks - the object studied - the sound they emit seems to attract the other party's attention even more than "wings".
"We think that the sound of male workers has the most influence on merit," said lead researcher Dr. Mariko Takahashi, from Tokyo University, Japan.
Takahashi and her colleagues studied Indian public populations at Izu Cactus Park in Shizuoka. In the spring from 1995 to 2001, the group observed their successful mating sessions, focusing on the so-called "tremor of males". In each such time, a male will spread and shake his tail right in front of a girl who is nearby. This tail vibration produces a characteristic rustling noise.
The females show their attraction to this trembling display by running around the male they like.
The research team notes directives that show a successful connection, and links them to a few attractive elements of male tails, such as tail length, and number of eye spots on it. During the research process, experts could not find a connection between the sophistication of the extreme tail and his ability to successfully mate. They even found very little difference in the tail of the studied guys.
