How sexual and natural selection shape sexual size dimorphism: Evidence from multiple evolutionary scales

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is pervasive across taxa and reflects differences in the effects of sexual and natural selection on body size between the sexes. However, disentangling the complex eco‐evolutionary interactions between these two mechanisms remains a major challenge for biologists. Here,...
