- 17 August 2012
Truthful Embellishments Exaggerated ornaments such as beetle horns, deer antlers, and extreme tail lengths in birds are typically assumed to be subject to sexual selection because they signal the… Expand

Summary A considerable body of theory pertaining to the evolution of canalization has emerged recently, yet there have been few empirical investigations of their predictions. To address this,… Expand
Exaggerated trait growth in insects.

Animal structures occasionally attain extreme proportions, eclipsing in size the surrounding body parts. We review insect examples of exaggerated traits, such as the mandibles of stag beetles… Expand
A general mechanism for conditional expression of exaggerated sexually‐selected traits

- 1 October 2013
Sexually‐selected exaggerated traits tend to be unusually reliable signals of individual condition, as their expression tends to be more sensitive to nutritional history and physiological… Expand
Insights into the Development and Evolution of Exaggerated Traits Using De Novo Transcriptomes of Two Species of Horned Scarab Beetles
- I. Warren, J. C. Vera, +5 authors L. Lavine
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 20 February 2014
Scarab beetles exhibit an astonishing variety of rigid exo-skeletal outgrowths, known as “horns”. These traits are often sexually dimorphic and vary dramatically across species in size, shape,… Expand
Are entrenched characters developmentally constrained? Creating biramous limbs in an insect

- 1 November 2001
SUMMARY Are evolutionarily entrenched phenotypes highly constrained developmentally? We explored this question in the case of the uniramous appendages of fruit flies. We created bi‐ and polyramous… Expand
A STUDY OF CANALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENTAL STABILITY IN THE STERNOPLEURAL BRISTLE SYSTEM OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
- I. Dworkin
- 2005
Abstract Among the explanations for minimizing the effects of extraneous variation has been canalization and developmental stability. However, there is little agreement as to whether these two… Expand
