Correlated evolution of male and female morphologles in water striders.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2002

Arnqvist Göran, Rowe Locke

Abstract excerpt

Sexually antagonistic coevolution may be an important force in the evolution of sexual dimorphism. We undertake a comparative study of correlated evolution of male and female morphologies in a clade of 15 water strider species in the genus Gerris (Heteroptera: Gerridae). Earlier studies have shown that superfluous matings impose costs on females, including increased energetic expenditure and predation risk, and...
