There is a consensus that the research has significant implications for our understanding of evolutionary biology and sexual competition.
Le premier gladiateur connu! Le trident de ce magnifique trilobite (Walliserops trifurcatus) du devonien marocain n'était pas que décoratif ou défensif, mais servait bien au combat entre congénères il y a plus de 400 millions d'années, d'après cette étude: https://t.co/d9cQYeZwJ2 https://t.co/eHCoUuhqsQ
Male-male combat is at least 400 million years old: Male trilobites had built-in tridents on their heads, which they used to fight each other for mates. https://t.co/q5JjvNdk2N https://t.co/MdfhDX9Afs
Sexual combat is 400 million years old, according to researchers. Some species of ancient trilobites battled for mates with head-mounted tridents, not unlike the horns on modern dynastine beetles. In PNAS: https://t.co/O2SmUnX0lt https://t.co/6NTc5WNvxg
