Final answer:

Sexual dimorphism in species can lead to differences in reproductive success, resulting in the evolution of larger body size and elaborate traits typically seen in males.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sexual dimorphism varies widely among species, and some species are even sex-role reversed. In such cases, females tend to have a greater variance in their reproductive success than males and are correspondingly selected for the bigger body size and elaborate traits usually characteristic of males.
