It has been found that a larger beetles results from increased intake of insulin or increased level of insulin. Insulin is provided to body through meals. Thus, if a rhinoceros has a larger beetles, it could mean that the rhinoceros is consuming good amount of food.

The lead researcher of the study, Douglas Emlen said, "We suggest that exaggerated animal structures may be unfakable signals of quality because of the developmental mechanism responsible for their accelerated growth”. The findings of the study could explain as to why some animals have larger body part while others have normal body growth.
