Phenotypic integration mediated by hormones: associations among digit ratios, body size and testosterone during tadpole development.

BMC evolutionary biology - 2 Aug 2017

Lofeu Leandro, Brandt Renata, Kohlsdorf Tiana

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Developmental associations often explain phenotypic integration. The intersected hormonal regulation of ontogenetic processes fosters predictions of steroid-mediated phenotypic integration among sexually dimorphic traits, a statement defied by associations between classical dimorphism predictors (e.g. body size) and traits that apparently lack sex-specific functions (e.g. ratios between the lengths of...
