Feeding ecology and sexual dimorphism in a speciose flower beetle clade (Hopliini: Scarabaeidae)
The relationship between feeding ecology and sexual dimorphism is examined in a speciose South African monkey beetle clade. We test whether feeding and mating at a fixed site (embedding guild) is associated with greater levels of sexual dimorphism and possibly sexual selection than species using unp...
