Sexual dimorphism, socionomic sex ratio and body weight in primates

Sexual dimorphism, socionomic sex ratio and body weight in primates BECAUSE the primates are a particularly well studied group they provide a rare opportunity to investigate the adaptive significance of species differences in sexual dimorphism in body size. We describe here an investigation of the relationship between the degree of sexual dimorphism and three variables which are predicted might affect it. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Springer Journals

Abstract

BECAUSE the primates are a particularly well studied group they provide a rare opportunity to investigate the adaptive significance of species differences in sexual dimorphism in body size. We describe here an investigation of the relationship between the degree of sexual dimorphism and three variables which are predicted might affect it.
