A functional trade-off between trophic adaptation and parental care predicts sexual dimorphism in cichlid fish

Although sexual dimorphism is widespread in nature, its evolutionary causes often remain elusive. Here we report a case where a sex-specific conflicting functional demand related to parental care, but not to sexual selection, explains sexual dimorphism in a primarily trophic structure, the gill rake...
