Dr. Herrel will collaborate by implementing the techniques of bite force measurement in the Laboratory of Tetrapod Evolution (LET), a fundamental activity for the successful completion of FAPESP 2013/14125-0 and to the development of future evolutionary integrative studies to be developed by LET. Bite force is a very interesting performance with respect to the evaluation of sexual selecti…
Sexual dimorphism (SD) is expressed as phenotypic differences between males and females of the same species, and is one of the major paradigms in Evolutionary Biology. It may result from distinct between-sex evolutionary pressures, related to their ability to fulfill their ecological role. Hence, the occurrence of DS might reflect and/or influence crucial aspects of the natural history of…
Theory suggests sexual dimorphism arises from selection operating differently on males and females. The degree of sexual dimorphism can be a direct result of the intensity of intrasexual competition. Mate competition is a key element of fitness as reproductive success increases with the number of mates. The operational sex ratio (OSR), or the ratio of sexually-active males to sexually-rec…
