Macroevolutionary patterns of bumblebee body size: detecting the interplay between natural and sexual selection
Bumblebees and other eusocial bees offer a unique opportunity to analyze the evolution of body size differences between sexes. The workers, being sterile females, are not subject to selection for reproductive function and thus provide a natural control for parsing the effects of selection on reprodu...
