DOI: 10.1007/s10750-020-04198-x
Abstract: Fish respond to predation threat by size/cohort-dependent presence in particular habitats and this may contribute to sexual segregation between habitats in species with sexual size dimorphism (SSD). The present study examines the validity of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11033-020-05843-3
Abstract: Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is a widespread phenomenon in fish species, including in the olive flounder. Although it is well established that female olive flounders acquire more bone mass than males, the underlying mechanism and… read more here.

Abstract: Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is common among mammals, with males typically being larger than females, as a product of sex-specific differences in growth rate and growth duration. The Musteloidea, however, exhibit a hypo-allometric reduction in… read more here.

Rensching cats and dogs: feeding ecology and fecundity trends explain variation in the allometry of sexual size dimorphism

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170453
Abstract: The tendency for sexual size dimorphism (SSD) to increase with body mass in taxa where males are larger, and to decrease when females are larger, is known as Rensch's rule. In mammals, where the trend… read more here.

Size rather than complexity of sexual ornaments prolongs male metamorphosis and explains sexual size dimorphism in sepsid flies

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.2531
Abstract: Male sexual ornaments often evolve rapidly and are thought to be costly, thus contributing to sexual size dimorphism. However, little is known about their developmental costs, and even less about costs associated with structural complexity.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12569
Abstract: Rensch's rule relates to a pattern whereby sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is more female-biased in small-sized species and more male-biased in large-sized ones. We collected literature and museum data on the body size of males… read more here.

Abstract: We tested for the effects of latitude and geographic range size (GRS) on body size, leg length, and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) across 103 species of fleas, taking into account phylogenetic between-species relationships. When the… read more here.

Potential Contributions of miR-200a/-200b and Their Target Gene–Leptin to the Sexual Size Dimorphism in Yellow Catfish

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2017.00970
Abstract: Sexual size dimorphism is the consequence of differential expression of sex-biased genes related to feeding and growth. Leptin is known to regulate energy balance by regulating food intake. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.00676
Abstract: Sexual size dimorphism is an interesting phenomenon occurred in many fish species. Wildtype zebrafish exhibits a significant sexual dimorphism in body size at the adult stage. Previous studies indicated that sexual size dimorphism was eliminated… read more here.
