The Evolution of Condition‐Dependent Sexual Dimorphism
@article{Bonduriansky2006TheEO, title={The Evolution of Condition‐Dependent Sexual Dimorphism}, author={R. Bonduriansky}, journal={The American Naturalist}, year={2006}, volume={169}, pages={9 - 19} }
Theory suggests that the net benefit of allocating resources to a sexual trait depends both on the strength of sexual selection on that trait and on individual condition. This predicts a tight coevolution between sexual dimorphism and condition dependence and suggests that these patterns of within‐sex and between‐sex variation may share a common genetic and developmental basis. Although condition‐dependent expression of sexual traits is widely documented, the extent of covariation between… CONTINUE READING
