Genetic constraints on the evolution of sexual size dimorphism
In this thesis, I use an artificial selection experiment and multivariate simulation modelling to study some basic questions concerning the evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD). Fecundity selection is often suggested as the main causal factor underlying the prevalence of female-biased SSD, but...
