Allometry for sexual size dimorphism: pattern and process in the coevolution of body size in males and females
DJ Fairbairn - Annual review of ecology and systematics, 1997 - annualreviews.org
Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is common in both plants and animals, and current evidence
suggests that it reflects the adaptation of males and females to their different reproductive …

[PDF][PDF] A review of techniques for quantifying sexual size dimorphism
Previous studies of sexual size dimor-phism (SSD) use a variety of size dimorphism indices
(SDI's) to quantify SSD. We propose that a useful SDI should meet four criteria as follows; 1) …
