Genetic variability of sexual size dimorphism in a natural population of Drosophila melanogaster: an isofemale-line approach.

Journal of genetics - 1 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

Most animal species exhibit sexual size dimorphism (SSD). SSD is a trait difficult to quantify for genetical purposes since it must be simultaneously measured on two kinds of individuals, and it is generally expressed either as a difference or as a ratio between sexes. Here we ask two related questions: What is the best way to describe SSD, and is it possible to conveniently demonstrate its genetic variability in...
