Correlation between investment in sexual traits and valve sexual dimorphism in Cyprideis species (Ostracoda).

Correlation between investment in sexual traits and valve sexual dimorphism in Cyprideis species (Ostracoda).

Assessing the long-term macroevolutionary consequences of sexual selection has been hampered by the difficulty of studying this process in the fossil record. Cytheroid ostracodes offer an excellent system to explore sexual selection in the fossil record because their readily fossilized carapaces are...
