Differing mechanisms underlie sexual size-dimorphism in two populations of a sex-changing fish.
Variability in the density of groups within a patchy environment lead to differences in interaction rates, growth dynamics and social organization. In protogynous hermaphrodites there are hypothesised trade-offs among sex-specific growth, reproductive output and mortality. When differences in densit...
