- Male and female ornamentation will be positively associated with socially-imposed monogamy (469, 485).Low, Bobbi S. - Sexual selection and human ornamentation, 1979 - 2 Variables
This chapter examines the role of male and female ornamentation. Several hypotheses concerning mating systems and ornamentation are empirically tested; several are supported.

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Pathogen stress is positively associated with the signalling of fitness (116).Low, Bobbi S. - Pathogen stress and polygyny in humans, 1987 - 2 Variables
This study tests the association between pathogen risk and degree of polygyny and sexual advertisement. Results show that the greater the risk of serious pathogens, the greater the degree of polygyny. The correlation between pathogen risk and sexual signals is only marginally significant. An association between mate choice and resource control is also examined.
