• Geographic variation in body size, sexual size dimorphism and fitness components of a seed beetle: local adaptation versus phenotypic plasticity (2009, background): “Males are generally larger than females, a pattern that is opposite to the general female-biased dimorphism observed in most species of insects (Fairbairn 1997, Esperk et al. 2007, Székely 2007), but the magnitude of this dimorphism decreases with increasing latitude (Stillwell et al. 2007a).”
• Fecundity Selection and the Evolution of Reproductive Output and Sex-Specific Body Size in the Liolaemus Lizard Adaptive Radiation (2011, neutral): “…the Evolution of Sexual Size Dimorphism The expression of female-biased SSD associated with higher female fecundity in lineages where male-biased SSD is the norm has often been interpreted as the evolutionary outcome of fecundity selection (see Cox et al. 2003; Fairbairn et al. 2007, for reviews).”
• Sexually distinct foraging strategies in an omnivorous seabird (2015, background): “Differences in parental care could be due to social dominance and competitive exclusion, niche specialisation or different reproductive roles, and these mechanisms might not be mutually exclusive (González-Solís et al. 2000; Phillips et al. 2004; Székely et al. 2007).”
• Parental investment, sexual selection and sex ratios (2008, neutral): “For example, studies of sexual dimorphism show that investment in somatic growth can benefit females more than males or the exact reverse (Fairbairn et al., 2007).”
