Rensching cats and dogs: feeding ecology and fecundity trends explain variation in the allometry of sexual size dimorphism
The tendency for sexual size dimorphism (SSD) to increase with body mass in taxa where males are larger, and to decrease when females are larger, is known as Rensch's rule. In mammals, where the trend occurs, it is believed to be the result of a competitive advantage for larger males, while fem...
