Antler size and fluctuating asymmetry in red deer (Cervus elaphus) stags and probability of becoming a harem holder in rut

Red deer hinds play a significant role in selecting stags for mating. We tested the hypotheses that in red deer (Cervus elaphus) the probability of becoming a harem holder (and hence achieving reproductive success) occurs in stags bearing larger, branched antlers and showing low fluctuating asymmetr...
