Abstract
⺠Exaggerated male characteristics may be enhanced by supportive somatic traits. ⺠We examine morphological patterns and their effects on fighting success. ⺠We find that supportive traits are linked with weapons in two insect species. ⺠In combats, supportive traits have positive effects on fighting success.
