  GRE阅读以艰深著称,很多理论讲解使得考生觉得如雾里云中,下面,我带大家来一起做一篇题目   Over the years, biologists have suggested two main pathways bywhich sexual selection may have shaped the evolution of male birdsong.

  1.本文探讨的是一个现象,是关于鸟的歌曲的性选择问题。

  Early research confirmed the role of intrasexual selection. In avariety of experiments in the field, males responded aggressively torecorded songs by exhibiting territorial behavior near the speakers.(以上是性内选择 )The breakthrough for research into intersexual sele...
