A multivariate view of the evolution of sexual dimorphism.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Oct 2013

Abstract excerpt

Sexual differences are often dramatic and widespread across taxa. Their extravagance and ubiquity can be puzzling because the common underlying genome of males and females is expected to impede rather than foster phenotypic divergence. Widespread dimorphism, despite a shared genome, may be more readily explained by considering the multivariate, rather than univariate, framework governing the evolution of sexual...
