Early constraints in sexual dimorphism: survival benefits of feminized phenotypes.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2016

López-Rull I, Vergara P, Martínez-Padilla J, Fargallo J A

Abstract excerpt

Sexual dimorphism (SD) has evolved in response to selection pressures that differ between sexes. Since such pressures change across an individual's life, SD may vary within age classes. Yet, little is known about how selection on early phenotypes may drive the final SD observed in adults. In many dimorphic species, juveniles resemble adult females rather than adult males, meaning that out of the selective...
