Allometry for sexual size dimorphism: testing two hypotheses for Rensch's rule in the water strider Aquarius remigis.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2005

Fairbairn Daphne J

Abstract excerpt

Within any given clade, male size and female size typically covary, but male size often varies more than female size. This generates a pattern of allometry for sexual size dimorphism (SSD) known as Rensch's rule. I use allometry for SSD among populations of the water strider Aquarius remigis (Hem...
