Sexual dimorphism in a trophically polymorphic cichlid fish?

Journal of morphology - 1 Dec 2015

Hulsey Christopher Darrin, García-De León Francisco J, Meyer Axel

Abstract excerpt

Sexual dimorphism in ecologically relevant traits is ubiquitous in animals. However, other types of intraspecific phenotypic divergence, such as trophic polymorphism, are less common. Because linkage to sex should often lead to balancing selection, understanding the association between sex and phenotypic divergence could help explain why particular species show high morphological variability. To determine if...
