Shallow food for deep divers: Dynamic foraging behavior of male sperm whales in a high latitude habitat (2008, background): “Sexual dimorphism is exhibited in several marine mammal species, including pinnipeds (e.g. Lindenfors et al., 2002) and odontocetes (Best, 1981; Jefferson, 1990; Cranford, 1999; Clark and Odell, 1999).”
Males in the shade: habitat use and sexual segregation in the Galápagos sea lion (Zalophus californianus wollebaeki) (2005, background): “Among mammals, otariid seals (Otariidae) offer some of the most spectacular examples of size dimorphism caused by sexual selection (Weckerly 1998; Lindenfors et al. 2002).”
Parental investment, sexual selection and sex ratios (2008, background): “Although males often do invest more in competitive traits in species when competition is intense (e.g. Weckerly, 1998; Byrne et al., 2002; Lindenfors et al., 2002; Bro-Jørgensen, 2007), something is amiss if biologists can use the same logic to reach two diametrically opposed conclusions.”
