How are courtship behaviors and mate attraction important in natural selection?

Courtship behaviors can have various effects on individual species of animals, and individuals within that species. Generally, it makes females receptive to sex. As a whole, courtship behavior serves as a screening process for the most healthy of animals to pair with other healthy animals. The courtship process of several birds, for example, is to build the biggest nest. The bird who can build the biggest, most elaborate nest without killing himself or getting eaten is obviously the strongest male out of all that may be courting a female. This strong male is the most likely to produce strong, viable offspring that will survive.
