A meta‐analysis of sex differences in animal personality: no evidence for the greater male variability hypothesis
The notion that men are more variable than women has become embedded into scientific
thinking. For mental traits like personality, greater male variability has been partly attributed …

A phylogenomic supermatrix of Galliformes (Landfowl) reveals biased branch lengths
Building taxon-rich phylogenies is foundational for macroevolutionary studies. One
approach to improve taxon sampling beyond individual studies is to build supermatricies of …

Assessing phylogenetic relationships among Galliformes: a multigene phylogeny with expanded taxon sampling in Phasianidae
Galliform birds (relatives of the chicken and turkey) have attracted substantial attention due
to their importance to society and value as model systems. This makes understanding the …

Domestic chickens defy Rensch's rule: sexual size dimorphism in chicken breeds
Sexual size dimorphism (SSD), ie the difference in sizes of males and females, is a key
evolutionary feature that is related to ecology, behaviour and life histories of organisms …

Geographic variation of life‐history traits in the sand lizard, Lacerta agilis: testing Darwin's fecundity‐advantage hypothesis
ES Roitberg, GV Eplanova, TI Kotenko… - Journal of …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
The fecundity‐advantage hypothesis (FAH) explains larger female size relative to male size
as a correlated response to fecundity selection. We explored FAH by investigating …

Sex‐specific growth in chicks of the sexually dimorphic black‐tailed godwit
Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is common in birds and has been linked to various selective
forces. Nevertheless, the question of how and when the sexes start to differentiate from each …
