Untangling the waterfall damsels: a review of the Mesoamerican genus Paraphlebia Selys in
Hagen, 1861 (Odonata: Thaumatoneuridae) with descriptions of 11 new species. - Abstract …

Evolutionary biologists have long posited that secondary sexual characters experiencing
positive directional selection should be positively allometric. Support for this hypothesis …

During postnatal ontogeny of vertebrates, allometric trends in certain morphological units or
dimensions can shift drastically among isometry, positive allometry, and negative allometry …

Alternative reproductive strategies are commonly associated with male dimorphism. In
Paraphlebia zoe, a species of damselfly whose males are dimorphic in wing coloration …

Secondary sexual traits can be indicators of individual condition that may present seasonal
polyphenism as a result of the differential costs of expression along the season. Wing spots …

Whether or not sexually selected traits consistently exhibit positive allometry (ie are
disproportionately large in larger individuals) is an ongoing debate. Multiple models and …

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) evolve to maximise fitness by favouring alternative
phenotypes when high variance in relative fitness occurs amongst individuals. In the …

Several sexually selected traits exhibit positive allometry. One of the explanations for this
pattern suggests that positive allometry should be expected only for “pure” threat male …

Whether or not sexually selected traits consistently exhibit positive allometry, ie, are
disproportionately large in larger individuals, is an ongoing debate. Multiple models and …

A nivel mundial, menos de 1% de la superficie terrestre está cubierta por aguas
continentales, siendo reconocidas como el hábitat más amenazado debido a los efectos de …
