A pair of Ehiopian grass frogs (Ptychadena nana) on the cover of PNAS this week!

Happy to share that our paper on the #evolution and #genomics of the most common #color polymorphism in #frogs is now out in @pnas.org! My favorite frogs even made the cover of this week’s issue! 🎉🐸🎉

Pre‐Copulatory Sexual Selection Predicts Sexual Size Dimorphism: A Meta‐Analysis of Comparative Studies In a meta-analysis using 127 effect sizes from 77 comparative studies, we provide evidence for a significant relationship between sexual selection and sexual size dimorphism across the animal tree of....

📜 Did you ever wonder why females and males are of different size in many species? We tested if sexual selection could drive the evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) synthesizing the results of 77 comparative studies. #OpenAccess in Ecology Letters:
