The ontogeny of sexual size dimorphism of a moth: when do males and females grow apart?
Sexual dimorphism in body size (sexual size dimorphism) is common in many species. The sources of selection that generate the independent evolution of adult male and female size have been investigated extensively by evolutionary biologists, but how and when females and males grow apart during ontoge...
