Rensch’s rule in avian lice: contradictory allometric trends for sexual size dimorphism
Rensch’s rule (RR) postulates that in comparisons across closely related species, male body size relative to female size increases with the average size of the species. This holds true in several vertebrate and also in certain free-living invertebrate taxa. Here, we document the validity of RR in av...
