Abstract:: A wide range of environmental and physiological factors influence the type and extent of sexual dimorphism found in animals.

In addition, some investigators attribute differences in body size to physiological factors influenced by genetic and...

Creator:: Eddy, Sarah L.

These mechanisms result in variation in reproductive success among individuals, and include scramble competition, endurance rivalries, contests, mate choice and cryptic choice, and sperm competition. Understanding the mating system of a species requires the identification of which...
