Intersexual behavior refers to behaviors that animals engage in to attract a mate of the opposite sex. In this case, the peacock spreading its feathers is a display to attract a female peahen. Intrasexual behavior, on the other hand, refers to behaviors where members of the same sex compete for access to mates. Sexual fitness and sexual adaptation are concepts related to the success of an organism's ability to reproduce and pass on their genes to offspring.
