Are species with flashier males more vulnerable to extinction?

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

My issue with these kinds of 'revelations' is that tend to rely on a ton of supposition, surmising, and conjecture: "So who’s right? It’s a tricky question to answer by looking at living species, because they obviously haven’t gone extinct. So Gene Hunt and colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution turned to the fossil record. They looked at 93 species of tiny crustaceans called ostracods, or seed shrimp, that lived between about 84 million and 66 million years ago."
What do they really know about any species that lived '84 to 66' million years ago? Not much...

Very interesting share, thank you.
