Macroevolution of sexual size dimorphism and reproduction-related phenotypic traits in lizards of the Chaco Domain

Macroevolution of sexual size dimorphism and reproduction-related phenotypic traits in lizards of the Chaco Domain

Abstract Background Comparing sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in the light of the phylogenetic hypothesis may help to understand the phenotypic evolution associated with sexual selection (size of whole body and of reproduction-related body parts). Within a macroevolutionary framework, we evaluated the...
