Summary Introduction
To explain: The trade off in reproduction behavior in peacock wrasse (Symphodus tinca).
Concept introduction: Trade-off is a situational decision that involves losing or retreating one quality, quantity or property in order to gain the other aspects. In the evolutionary prospect in trade-off, the process of natural and sexual selection are in reference as the definitive critical factors.
In the Symphodus tinca or peacock wrasse, the females used to disperse out a number of its eggs far and wide from their nest and some eggs they keep in the nest. While only the latter ones used to receives the parental investment and care.

- In a population of birds, males have long red tail feathers that they use in mating displays, and also sing in the mornings to attract females. You find that some males have more red feathers in their tails than others, while some sing for longer periods of time. In this bird species, a high proportion of eggs fail to hatch. You measure the number of eggs that successfully hatch that are fathered by each male bird, and find that the number of successful hatchlings is proportional to how long a male sings, but is unrelated to the amount of red in his tail. Question: Propose an explanation for why males evolved both to sing and to have red tails, and how females likely evolved in response to both traits.
