Read about “Evolutionary lability of sexual selection and its implications for speciation and macroevolution” by Matheus Januario, Renato C. Macedo-Rego, and Daniel L. Rabosky (April 2025)
Januario et al. found no correlation between sexual selection intensity & speciation rates or proxy traits (SSD and dichromatism). Because sexual selection intensity has high intraspecific variation and low phylogenetic signal, its macroevolutionary impacts are weak
