Evolution and development of morphological, allometric, and life history patterns in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)
… on the evolution and development of 'reversed' sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in spotted hyenas. My dissertation consists of four chapters following the introductory chapter. The first of these research chapters, Chapter 2, describes the ontogeny of morphological sexual dimorphism in spotted …
