Sexual dimorphism of heads and abdomens: Different approaches to 'being large' in female and male lizards (2013, background): “…when fighting; Herrel, De Grauw & Lemos-Espinal, 2001), grasp the females faster prior to and during mating, and have better chances to be favoured by females (Bull & Pamula, 1996; Smith, Lemos-Espinal & Ballinger, 1997; Kratochvíl & Frynta, 2002; Gvoždík & Van Damme, 2003; Husak et al., 2006).”
Variation in body size and sexual dimorphism across geographical and environmental space in the frogs Limnodynastes tasmaniensis and L. peronii (2004, background): “As L. peronii is the larger species, my results follow a trend, observed in a range of taxa, for females to be larger in smaller species and males to be larger in large species (Rensch’s rule; Abouheif & Fairbairn, 1997; Kratochvil & Frynta, 2002).”
Head shape allometry and proximate causes of head sexual dimorphism in Podarcis lizards: joining linear and geometric morphometrics (2007, background): “…view of intersexual differentiation, head dimorphism is a common pattern in many lizard families (Agamidae: Thompson & Withers, 2005; Eublepharidae: Kratochvil & Frynta, 2002; Gekkonidae: Saenz & Conner, 1996; Lacertidae: Braña, 1996; Gvoždík & Van Damme, 2003; Bruner et al., 2005; Iguanidae:…”
The Evolution of Animal Weapons (2008, background): “, dewlaps, head bobbing) and male competition are pervasive and well studied in extant reptiles (4, 153, 194, 195, 197, 249, 258), but very few species produce enlarged weapons, and empirical studies of the functions of these weapons are sparse.”
Locomotor performance and social dominance in male Anolis cristatellus (2004, background): “Two interspecific comparative studies (Carothers 1984; Kratochvı́l & Frynta 2002) also reported an association between maleemale aggression and sexual dimorphism in lizard head sizes, suggesting that this might be a general phenomenon associated with intrasexual selection.”
Multiple signals in chameleon contests: designing and analysing animal contests as a tournament (2006, result): “Many other studies have reported a relation between contest outcome and a measure of head size, including head depth, in lizards (Hews 1990; Kratochvil & Frynta 2002; Ló pez et al. 2002; Perry et al. 2004).”
