The article Models of speciation by sexual selection on polygen by Russell Lande discusses the reasoning behind natural and sexual selection. Russell Lande starts by describing the differences between the processes of natural and sexual selection according to Darwin’s theory of evolution and continues on to question the reasoning for why females prefer extreme phenotypic traits in a polygamous mating system, which is not explained in Darwin’s studies. Russell defined a polygamous mating system as

1. In a cricket the reproductive system and the digestive system are interconnected. In a female cricket, the digestive system is located right under the ovaries. The location of these two systems is ideal for providing nutrients to the offspring. If the reproductive system was located elsewhere, access to vital nutrients needed to produce healthy offspring might not be easily available. In an earthworm, the nervous system and the muscular system are interconnected. The nerve cord that runs along
between the opposite sex paired frogs (Gaalema 9). The LED lights were used as a conditional stimulus and the presentation of the opposite sex frog was used as an unconditional stimulus (Gaalema 9). The active control group was not consistently exposed to the green LED light and the opposite sex frogs, as was the experimental group (Gaalema 9). The frogs were being trained to see the unconditional stimulus and then know that it is time to breed upon arrival of the opposite sex frog (Gaalema 9). After
