Pupal remodeling and the development and evolution of sexual dimorphism in horned beetles.

The American naturalist - 1 Dec 2006

Moczek Armin P

Abstract excerpt

Horns or hornlike structures in beetles have become an increasingly popular study system for exploring the evolution and development of secondary sexual trait diversity and sexual dimorphisms. The horns of adult beetles originate during a rapid growth phase during the prepupal stage of larval development, and differential activation of growth during this time is either implicitly or explicitly assumed to be the...
