Lifetime selection on a hypoallometric size trait in the spotted hyena.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Nov 2011

Swanson Eli M, Dworkin Ian, Holekamp Kay E

Abstract excerpt

Size-related traits are common targets of natural selection, yet there is a relative paucity of data on selection among mammals, particularly from studies measuring lifetime reproductive success (LRS). We present the first phenotypic selection analysis using LRS on size-related traits in a large terrestrial carnivore, the spotted hyena, which displays a rare pattern of female-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD)....
