DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2022-0202
Abstract: Allometric analyses of sexually selected structures have revealed many patterns of evolutionary and behavioural significance (e.g. in weapons, ornaments, genitalia). We investigated allometry of the baculum (penis bone) relative to body size in adults of… read more here.
