Moreover, the ____ features of a male's roar are constrained by his body size, so only large males can produce deep-pitched roars.

____ larger males are more successful fighters.

As a consequence, a male's roaring cannot be faked ― because small males and males in poor condition cannot produce low-pitched ____ at a high rate ― and roaring serves as an honest indicator of size, condition, and competitive ability.

Animals use displays to avoid physical fights, as these signals ____ reflect physical condition and size, making them reliable evolutionary indicators of competitive strength.
