Phenotypic plasticity in the developmental integration of morphological trade-offs and secondary sexual trait compensation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Mar 2005

Tomkins Joseph L, Kotiaho Janne S, Lebas Natasha R

Abstract excerpt

Trait exaggeration through sexual selection will tale place alongside other changes in phenotype. Exaggerated morphology might be compensated by parallel changes in traits that support, enhance or facilitate exaggeration: 'secondary sexual trait compensation' (SSTC). Alternatively, exaggeration might be realized at the expense of other traits through morphological trade-offs. For the most part, SSTC has only been...
