A conserved somatic sex determination cascade instructs trait-specific sexual dimorphism in horned dung beetles

2024-10-12

Abstract excerpt

Sex-specific trait expression represents a striking dimension of morphological variation within and across species. The mechanisms instructing sex-specific organ development have been well studied in a small number of insect model systems, suggesting striking conservation in some parts of the somatic sex determination pathway while hinting at possible evolutionary lability in others. However, further resolution of...
