Evolution of sexual dimorphism of wing shape in the
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Sexual dimorphism of body size has been the subject of numerous studies, but few have examined sexual shape dimorphism (SShD) and its evolution.

Sexual dimorphism and plasticity in wing shape in three Diptera [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2017 The ability of powered flight in insects facilitated their great evolutionary success allowing them to occupy various ecological niches. Beyond this primary task, wings are often involved in various premating behaviors, such as the generation of ...

Wing Dimorphism in Weevils [PDF]
Nature, 1928 IN a reference which appeared in NATURE of July 28, p. 144, to my paper on the inheritance of long and short wings in the weevil, Sitona hispidula (Trans. Boy. Soc. Edin., vol. 55, part 3, No. 27), a statement occurs which it is desirable to correct. It is stated in the note that evidence from breeding indicates that the abnormal condition of the wing ...

Wing dimorphism in aphids [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 Many species of insects display dispersing and nondispersing morphs. Among these, aphids are one of the best examples of taxa that have evolved specialized morphs for dispersal versus reproduction. The dispersing morphs typically possess a full set of wings as well as a sensory and reproductive physiology that is adapted to flight and reproducing in a ...

Common Noctule Bats Are Sexually Dimorphic in Migratory Behaviour and Body Size but Not Wing Shape. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Within the large order of bats, sexual size dimorphism measured by forearm length and body mass is often female-biased. Several studies have explained this through the effects on load carrying during pregnancy, intrasexual competition, as well as the ...

Journal of Cotton Research, 2021 The worldwide pest Aphis gossypii has three-winged morphs in its life cycle, namely, winged parthenogenetic female (WPF), winged gynopara (GP), and winged male, which are all produced by a wingless parthenogenetic female (WLPF).

Sexual dimorphism in Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae): can pregnancy and pup carrying be responsible for differences in wing shape? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Competition is one of the most cited mechanisms to explain secondary sexual dimorphism in animals. Nonetheless, it has been proposed that sexual dimorphism in bat wings is also a result of adaptive pressures to compensate additional weight caused by ...
