Project Description
How can males and females display striking sex differences, when they primarily share the same set of
genes? By experimentally evolving the degree of sexual dimorphism in Drosophila melanogaster, this project
will address key aims at the heart of evolutionary biology. This project will deliver a novel, data-rich resource
with which to explore the mechanisms and consequences of sexual dimorphism evolution, to expand current
understanding of this fundamental evolutionary paradox.
