Sexual variation in assimilation efficiency: its link to phenotype and potential role in sexual dimorphism.

Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology - 1 Apr 2011

Stahlschmidt Zachary R, Davis Jon R, Denardo Dale F

Abstract excerpt

Sex-specific variation in morphology (sexual dimorphism) is a prevalent phenomenon among animals, and both dietary intake and resource allocation strategies influence sexually dimorphic traits (e.g., body size or composition). However, we investigated whether assimilation efficiency (AE), an intermediate step between dietary intake and allocation, can also vary between the sexes. Specifically, we tested whether...
