DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.23447
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Accurate sex estimation is an essential step for the reconstruction of the biological profile of human remains. Earlier studies have shown that elements of the human permanent dentition are sexually dimorphic. The aims of… read more here.

Extreme functional specialization of fertile leaves in a widespread fern species and its implications on the evolution of reproductive dimorphism

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11552
Abstract: Abstract Resource allocation theory posits that organisms distribute limited resources across functions to maximize their overall fitness. In plants, the allocation of resources among maintenance, reproduction, and growth influences short‐term economics and long‐term evolutionary processes,… read more here.

Geranium sylvaticum increases pollination probability by sexually dimorphic flowers

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9670
Abstract: Abstract Sexual dimorphism is expressed as different morphologies between the sexes of a species. Dimorphism is pronounced in gynodioecious populations which consist of female and hermaphrodite individuals. The small size of female flowers in gynodioecious… read more here.

Sexual dimorphism as a facilitator of worker caste evolution in ants

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9825
Abstract: Abstract Ant societies are primarily composed of females, whereby labor is divided into reproductive, or queen, and non‐reproductive, or worker, castes. Workers and reproductive queens can differ greatly in behavior, longevity, physiology, and morphology, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/evan.22052
Abstract: Sexual dimorphism is one of the main factors confounding attempts to generate sound alpha taxonomic hypotheses in the early hominin fossil record. To better understand how between‐sex variation may confound alpha taxonomic assessments, we consider… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.70041
Abstract: This study investigates the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellid beetles, focusing on the sexual dimorphism of claws and adhesive pads. We analyzed 11 species from different tribes with different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00128-019-02632-y
Abstract: Tetragnathid spiders (Tetragnatha spp.) found in riparian habitats have recently been used as bioindicators of sediment contamination and insect-mediated contaminant flux. We investigated whether sexual dimorphism (size and behavior) influenced the female:male ratio in composite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10201-024-00774-5
Abstract: The study of dragonfly exuviae is an effective tool that provides noninvasive insight into many aspects of their population biology or interspecific interactions with their predators or prey. Here, we analysed morphometric parameters of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-017-9900-9
Abstract: In sexual species, phenotypic divergence between males and females, or sexual dimorphism, is often the source of the most staggering examples of phenotypic variation in nature. Theory suggests that exaggerated sexual traits should drive sex-specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aaf.2019.05.003
Abstract: Abstract Tilapias are important aquaculture species. Male-biased sexual size dimorphism is very common and males are preferred for aquaculture in tilapia. However, the mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism remain to be elucidated. One hundred and thirty-six… read more here.

Abstract: Sexual dimorphism in secondary traits (differences between the sexes in characteristics others than the sexual organs) is widespread in plants (Geber et al., 1999 ; Barrett and Hough, 2013). Sex differences in ecological, morphological and… read more here.
