Sexual size dimorphism in anurans [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the direction and extent of sexual size dimorphism in anurans (in which males are usually smaller than females) as a result of sexual selection. Here, we present an analysis to test the hypothesis that sexual dimorphism in anurans is largely a function of differences between the sexes in life-history ...
