The adaptive significance of specific sexual dimorphism is well studied. However, the evolutionary history and ontogenic origins of the dimorphism are often unknown. As dimorphism represents two phenotypes generated from relatively similar genotypes, it is of interest to understand both its evolutionary and developmental/genetic underpinnings. Here, we present the first ontogenetic examination of the eyes of...
