Human fertility variation, size-related obstetrical performance and the evolution of sexual stature dimorphism.

In several animal species, change in sexual size dimorphism is a correlated response to selection on fecundity. In humans, different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the variation of sexual dimorphism in stature, but no consensus has yet emerged. In this paper, we evaluate from a theoretical and an empirical point of view the hypothesis that the extent of sexual dimorphism in human popu...

Reduced Skull Sexual Dimorphism in a Local Sheep Breed

This study estimated the magnitude of sexual dimorphism in a relict sheep from Catalunya (NE Spain), called Fardasca,using geometric morphometric techniques. For these analyses, a total of 18 skull specimens (2 adult males and 16 females) were studied. Our results suggest that the breed is not cranially dimorphic, so sex determination using landmarks described here as criteria is likely to yiel...

Original Contribution SEXUAL DIMORPHISM IN BODY PARAMETERS OF THE GOLDEN JACKAL CANIS AUREUS L., 1758 (CARNIVORA, CANIDAE) IN THE SARNENA SREDNA GORA MOUNTAIN AND THRACIAN PLAIN (BULGARIA)

The study was conducted in the area of the Sarnena Sredna Gora Mountain and the Thracian Plain in period 1996-2014. On a total of 262 golden jackals (Canis aureus L., 1758) (119 males and 143 females) thirteen somatometric parameters were measured. The comparison of the linear body parameters and the weights between males and females showed apparent sexual dimorphism in the jackals with a high ...

Human sexual dimorphism in size may be triggered by environmental cues.

Evolutionary biologists mostly assume that polygyny increases sexual dimorphism in size because, under polygyny, larger males monopolize mating opportunities and pass on their 'large male' genes to their sons. Available data on parent-child correlations in height among humans (Homo sapiens) do not support the crucial assumption that height is transmitted along sex lines. This paper instead sugg...
