“…Large primates tend to express sexual dimorphism in the form of body weight dimorphism (Gaulin and Sailer, 1984). For a species that is already large, the cost of an increase in size is lower, and larger size has increased benefits in intrasexual competition.…”

“…However, there are other factors including developmental, phylogenetic, and genetic constraints, natural selection, and epiphenomenal factors that can influence the expression of dimorphism in species (Crook, 1972;Clutton-Brock et al, 1977;Leutenegger and Kelly, 1977;Harvey et al, 1978;Cheverud, 1982, 1985;Gaulin and Sailer, 1984;Cheverud et al, 1985;CluttonBrock, 1985;Gautier-Hion and Gautier, 1985;Leutenegger and Lubach, 1987;Shea, 1986;Oxnard, 1987;Kay et al, 1988;Ely and Kurland, 1989;Kappeler, 1990Kappeler, , 1991Kappeler, , 1996Greenfield, 1992aGreenfield, ,b, 1996Leigh, 1992Leigh, , 1995aPlavcan and van Schaik, 1992, 1997bFord, 1994;Martin et al, 1994;Hayes et al, 1995;Leigh and Shea, 1995;Mitani et al, 1996;Plavcan, 1998Plavcan, , 1999. The relative importance of these factors to the expression of dimorphism among primates has been at times a topic of heated debate.…”

“…Gaulin and Sailer (1984) pointed out that the measure of sexual dimorphism used in the study was biologically unrealistic, de facto creating a strong correlation between size and dimorphism. Cheverud (1982, 1985) treated a 5-kg difference in mass the same between galagoes and gorillas.…”
