Can evolution of sexual dimorphism be triggered by developmental temperatures?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2012

Ketola T, Kristensen T N, Kellermann V M, Loeschcke V

Abstract excerpt

Genetic prerequisites for the evolution of sexual dimorphism, sex-specific heritabilities and low or negative genetic correlations between homologous traits in males and females are rarely found. However, sexual dimorphism is evolving rapidly following environmental change, suggesting that sexual dimorphism and its genetic background could be environmentally sensitive. Yet few studies have explored the...
