"Tusked elephants breed less than tusk-less ones due to poachers" (63 chars)

You are just describing how an evolutionary response works, not being more accurate.
I would specifically argue that the word "response" is itself contextually inaccurate, in the sense that it triggers ambiguity as to whether the change in reproductive rates is _intentional_ or not. My headline removes that ambiguity.
A different attempt: "Tusked elephants breeding less than before due to poachers. Tusk-less ones unaffected" (85)
