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.

Feeding ecology and sexual dimorphism in a speciose flower beetle clade (Hopliini: Scarabaeidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The relationship between feeding ecology and sexual dimorphism is examined in a speciose South African monkey beetle clade. We test whether feeding and mating at a fixed site (embedding guild) is associated with greater levels of sexual dimorphism and ...

The sexual dimorphism of obesity [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2015 The NIH has recently highlighted the importance of sexual dimorphisms and has mandated inclusion of both sexes in clinical trials and basic research. In this review we highlight new and novel ways sex hormones influence body adiposity and the metabolic syndrome.

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 of Size Ontogeny and Life History
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 Background: Ecological and physiological factors and social and economic constraints affect sex-specific body size. Here, we used the male/female (M/F) height ratio as an indicator of the combined effect of genetic and sex characteristics.

Wing sexual dimorphism of pathogen-vector culicids
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Sexual dimorphism in animals has been studied from different perspectives for decades. In 1874 Darwin hypothesized that it was related to sexual selection, and even after nearly 140 years, when additional empirical data has become available ...
