The question regarding viability of the theory
Due to their sometimes greatly exaggerated nature, secondary sexual characteristics can prove to be a hindrance to the animal, thereby lowering its fitness.

This paper describes the pharmacological approach to understand the molecular components of inflammation and oxidative stress on the activation of microglial cells and neuronal cell viability.

It sometimes does cause some loss of viability, so some modest impact on the behavior or lifespan of the vector. Oftentimes it's extremely subtle, and the vectors do just fine even with a bunch of viruses or bacteria living inside them.

Effects of chromosomal breakage and realignment: Quite often these types of changes do not affect the viability of the organism (the genes are still there; they're just in different places) but, in sexually reproducing species, ...

Biotic ecological factors also influence biocenose viability; these factors are considered as either intraspecific and interspecific relations.

The cells are not damaged by the process. In fact, because the machine can be set to ignore droplets containing dead cells, the percent viability of the sorted cells can be higher than that in the original suspension.

Genetic disease: Heritable genetic alterations from wild type which, when expressed, result in decreased viability of the individual receiving the altered gene(s).
Genetic engineering technologies: See recombinant DNA technologies.
Full article >>>

The phenotype of individuals heterozygotic for certain types of chromosome aberration; expressed as a reduced number of viable gametes and hence reduced fertility. Nonviability of a proportion of gametes or zygotes.

It can be seen as the extent to which an individual successfully passes on its genes to the next generation. It has two components: survival (viability) and reproductive success (fecundity).
