An evolutionary explanation of female-biased sexual size dimorphism in North Sea plaice, Pleuronectes platessa L.

2021-02-23

Abstract excerpt

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is caused by differences in selection pressures and life-history tradeoffs faced by males and females. Proximate causes of SSD may involve sex-specific mortality, energy acqui-sition, and energy expenditure for maintenance, reproductive tissues, and reproductive behavior. Using a quantitative, individual-based, eco-genetic model parameterized for North Sea plaice, we explore the import...
