Note:
SAMs 1.1.1 - "...Bottlenose dolphins in managed care provide a unique Sexual selection is the primary force driving gross morphological variation of genitalia in many species (Eberhard, 2010). The differences in reproductive interests between the sexes can lead to the evolution of traits that favor one sex while harming the other, creating an evolutionary arms race for control of paternity (House & Lewis, 2007). Through this proposal, we investigate the features of genital morphology that are under selection during copulation using a taxon with unusual reproductive morphology...."
