Potential causes and life‐history consequences of sexual size dimorphism in mammals
JL Isaac - Mammal review, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Male‐biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in mammals has been explained by sexual
selection favouring large, competitive males. However, new research has identified other …

Sexual selection in wild baboons: from mating opportunities to paternity success
SC Alberts, JC Buchan, J Altmann - Animal Behaviour, 2006 - Elsevier
