A better question would be, if natural selection's little brother sexual selection has been tested. I would find that more interesting (because I think we all agree natural selection is a real thing and that it has been tested)

Takahashi, M., and others, Peahens do not prefer peacocks with more elaborate trains, Animal Behaviour 75(4):1209—1219, 2008

I found this, does it count ? (I mean, of sexual selection can't explain the very thing Darwin thought of it for ...)

Re: Minor corrections

The title is correct. It's just because there were two articles with similar titles and you got the wrong one. Here is the correct link:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=...

The one you linked was a research done by Loyau, and this one by Takahashi. And yes, I did get the title from a creation.com article, and I do think you pressed the ''lie!'' button rather quickly
