The idea that interspecific variation in trophic morphology among closely related species
effectively permits resource partitioning has driven research on ecological radiation since …

Aim Body size explains most of the variation in fitness within animal populations and is
therefore under constant selection from ecological and reproductive pressures, which often …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is the difference in segments or body size between sexes
prevalent in various species. Understanding the genetic architecture of SSD has remained a …

Over 9000 articles have been published on turtles and tortoises (excluding sea turtles) since
1950 according to the Web of Science, including over 8000 contained in a personal …

Body size often differs between the sexes (leading to sexual size dimorphism, SSD), as a
consequence of differential responses by males and females to selection pressures. Adult …

Among fishes, salmonids (family Salmonidae) have attracted a great deal of research
attention focused on sexual dimorphism and associated selective forces. Most of this …

Abstract The British taxon Pleurosternon bullockii corresponds to the best represented
member of Pleurosternidae, this lineage of Paracryptodira being the only one of aquatic …

Given that morphology directly influences the ability of an organism to utilize its habitat and
dietary resources, it also influences fitness. Comparing the relationship between …
