Sexual Dimorphism in Mammals: Avian Models and Unanswered Questions
The degree of sexual dimorphism found in mammals ranges from species in which females are larger than males (Rails 1976a) to those in which males are much larger than females and possess striking secondary sexual characteristics which females lack. Although some work has been done on mammals, principally pinnipeds (Bartholomew 1970; Stirling 1975) and primates (Crook 1972), current theories as ...
متن کاملThe evolution of indicator traits for parental quality: the role of maternal and paternal effects.
In systems where individuals provide material resources to their mates or offspring, mate choice based on traits that are phenotypically correlated with the quality of resources provided is expected to be adaptive. Several models have explored the evolution of mating preference where there are direct benefits to choice, but few have addressed how a phenotypic correlation can be established betw...
متن کاملTerminal Investment Strategies and Male Mate choice: Extreme Tests of Bateman.
Bateman's principle predicts the intensity of sexual selection depends on rates of increase of fecundity with mating success for each sex (Bateman slopes). The sex with the steeper increase (usually males) is under more intense sexual selection and is expected to compete for access to the sex under less intense sexual selection (usually females). Under Bateman and modern refinements of his idea...
متن کاملConception of parental investment as a useful explanation of diverse human parental behaviour
Parental investment is differentiated on prenatal or postnatal stage (e.g., child neglecting, infanticide, or differences in financial support given to children). Differential treatment of children with reference to their sex is influenced by factors such as the sex ratio, parents status, number of children in the family, birth order, sex of siblings and childrens contribution to family resou...
متن کاملPatterns of Parental Investment and Sexual Selection in Teleost Fishes: Do They Support Bateman's Principles?
Bateman demonstrated differences in variance for fertility and mating success between the sexes, with males usually having a greater variance than females. Thus in general, male reproductive success increases with number of mates acquired. These results have been referred to as "Bateman's principles" and taken together with other parameters (e.g., relative parental investment) have been propose...
متن کاملSocial and coevolutionary feedbacks between mating and parental investment.
A survey of empirical studies relating mating and parental investment reveals as many unpredicted patterns as results supporting existing hypotheses. This leaves us with individual post hoc explanations of observed patterns rather than an ability to make strong a priori predictions. I argue here that our ability to explain and predict empirical patterns can be improved by considering how social...
