Field evidence challenges the often‐presumed relationship between early male maturation and female‐biased sexual size dimorphism
Female‐biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is often considered an epiphenomenon of selection for the increased mating opportunities provided by early male maturation (i.e., protandry). Empirical evidence of the adaptive significance of protandry remains nonetheless fairly scarce. We use field data c...
