Symmetry is related to sexual dimorphism in faces: data across culture and species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Many animals both display and assess multiple signals. Two prominently studied traits are symmetry and sexual dimorphism, which, for many animals, are proposed cues to heritable fitness benefits. These traits are associated with other potential benefits,

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

Habitat‐Driven Sexual Dimorphism in Triplophysa strauchii Between Oxbow Lake and Stream: A Geometric Morphometric Analysis [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSexual dimorphism is widespread among fish species, yet the ecological factors shaping this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Using traditional morphometric analyses of 319 specimens together with geometric morphometrics, this study examined sexual ...

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 ...

Ethnic variability of growth processes through the prism of sexual dimorphism of body dimensions (based on data of early and first childhood children) [PDF]
Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2023 . The study deals with the process of forming of the level and vector of sex somatic differences through early and first childhood, specific peculiarities of sexual dimorphism at 3–6 years of age as compared to the sexual dimorphism of adults, ethnic ...

Nature Communications, 2023 Sexual dimorphism results in widely diverse animal forms, but sexual determination is generally attributed to a single gene in animal models. Here they find that the glu gene regulates sexual dimorphism of honeybee eyes, demonstrating diversification of ...

Sexual dimorphism in cancer [PDF]
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2016 The incidence of many types of cancer arising in organs with non-reproductive functions is significantly higher in male populations than in female populations, with associated differences in survival. Occupational and/or behavioural factors are well-known underlying determinants.

Evolution of sexual size dimorphism in mammals: Sexual or natural selection? [PDF]
, 2023 Sexual size dimorphism may have evolved through two processes: sexual or natural selection. The sexual selection theory states that males compete for mate monopolization and larger males can sire more offspring than smaller ones—factors that resulted in ...
