Ontogenic sources of variation in sexual size dimorphism in a viviparous lizard.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2006

Le Galliard J-F, Massot M, Landys M M, Meylan S, Clobert J

Abstract excerpt

To elucidate the developmental aspects of the evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD), an understanding of the sex-specific ontogeny of body size is critical. Here, we evaluate the relative importance of genetic and environmental determinants of SSD in juvenile common lizards (Lacerta vivipara). We examined the prenatal and post-natal effects of population density and habitat humidity on SSD, as well as the...
