Female-limited polymorphism in a widespread damselfly: morph frequencies, male density, and phenotypic similarity of andromorphs to males University of Antwerp
In several animal species, one male type coexists with two to several female types, a polymorphism often explained in the context of sexual selection. Where it occurs, one female morph typically resembles the conspecific male phenotype, but the degree of resemblance varies across species. Here, we question whether the degree of phenotypic similarity between male-like females and males varies within species. Phenotypic resemblance is hypothesized ...
