Divergent Sex-Specific Plasticity in Long-Lived Vertebrates with Contrasting Sexual Dimorphism
Sex-specific plasticity can profoundly affect sexual size dimorphism (SSD), but its influence in female-larger-SSD vertebrates remains obscure. Theory predicts that sex-specific plasticity may drive SSD evolut...

Phylogenetic Patterns of Sexual Size Dimorphism in Turtles and Their Implications for Rensch’s Rule
Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is widespread in nature and may result from selection operating differentially on males and females. Rensch’s rule, the increase of SSD with body size in male-biased-SSD species (o...

The Role of Sex-specific Plasticity in Sha** Sexual Dimorphism in a Long-lived Vertebrate, the Snap** Turtle Chelydra serpentina
Sex-specific plasticity, the differential response that the genome of males and females may have to different environments, is a mechanism that can affect the degree of sexual dimorphism. Two adaptive hypothes...
