The ontogeny of sexual size dimorphism of a moth: when do males and females grow apart? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Sexual dimorphism in body size (sexual size dimorphism) is common in many species. The sources of selection that generate the independent evolution of adult male and female size have been investigated extensively by evolutionary biologists, but how and ...

Sexual Dimorphism in Fin Size and Shape in Bluefin Killifish [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSexual dimorphism provides insight into how trait optima differ between males and females, despite their shared genome. Measuring sexual dimorphism can help identify which traits have been shaped by sexual selection. While fish morphology has been widely

Males resemble females. re-evaluating sexual dimorphism in protoceratops andrewsi (neoceratopsia, protoceratopsidae) [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Protoceratops andrewsi (Neoceratopsia, Protoceratopsidae) is a well-known dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia. Some previous workers hypothesized sexual dimorphism in the cranial shape of this taxon, using qualitative and ...

Sexual dimorphism in shell shape: is Pomacea canaliculata an exception or an example among Neotropical apple snails? [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023 Sexual dimorphism has often been recorded in apple snails (Caenogastropoda Ampullariidae), but reports are concentrated in a few species, either invasive or with biocontrol potential, which sugests some taxonomic bias.

Variation in craniomandibular morphology and sexual dimorphism in pantherines and the sabercat Smilodon fatalis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Sexual dimorphism is widespread among carnivorans, and has been an important evolutionary factor in social ecology. However, its presence in sabertoothed felids remains contentious.
