Extrinsic factors affecting cub development contribute to sexual size dimorphism in the European badger (meles meles)

Extrinsic factors affecting cub development contribute to sexual size dimorphism in the European badger (meles meles)

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is common among mammals, with males typically being larger than females, as a product of sex-specific differences in growth rate and growth duration. The Musteloidea, however, exhibit a hypo-allometric reduction in SSD with increasing body size (contrary to Rensch's...
