Wing sexual dimorphism in Aedes fluviatilis (Diptera: Culicidae)
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016 Culicidae mosquitoes are important vectors of pathogens; however, males and females have different responses to selective pressures, leading to distinct evolutionary outcomes. A better understanding of this phenomenon is crucial to establish effective control strategies for this mosquito.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 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 ...

NovelDoublesexDuplication Associated with Sexually Dimorphic Development of Dogface Butterfly Wings [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 AbstractSexually dimorphic development is responsible for some of the most remarkable phenotypic variation found in nature. Alternative splicing of the transcription factor gene doublesex (dsx) is a highly conserved developmental switch controlling the expression of sex-specific pathways.

Sexual dimorphism in the wing geometry of Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) from Colombia
, 2021 Sexual dimorphism in flies has been evidenced in classical morphological characters, but little is known about the differentiation in wing geometry, a multivariate character highly controlled at the genetic level that influences the flight and impacts ...

Sexual Size Dimorphism and Body Condition in the Australasian Gannet. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Sexual size dimorphism is widespread throughout seabird taxa and several drivers leading to its evolution have been hypothesised. While the Australasian Gannet (Morus serrator) has previously been considered nominally monomorphic, recent studies have ...

Sex-Specific doublesex Regulation Targeting the Color-Patterning Gene h Underlies the Evolution of Wing Sexual Dimorphism in the Harlequin Ladybug Harmonia axyridis. [PDF]
Evol Devdoublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.

Sexual dimorphism in the wing shape and size of the carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2007 The carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller), belongs to the family Pyralidae and the subfamily Phycitinae. In spite of some features of sexual dimorphism in size and shape in the order Lepidoptera and the mentioned family, it has not been recorded in
