Systematic review reveals ecological and evolutionary drivers of sexual dimorphism in amphibians, suggesting deeper biological insights.

This study aims to explore sexual dimorphism (SD) in amphibians, focusing on ecological, evolutionary, and molecular influences.
Systematic review of ecological and evolutionary literature on amphibian sexual dimorphism.
Analysis of morphological and physiological traits across various amphibian species.
Utilization of multi-omics approaches to link genotype, phenotype, and environmental factors.
Identified sexual size dimorphism (SSD) as prevalent, with larger females predominating in most anurans.
Highlighted environmental influences, such as temperature and precipitation variability, on trait plasticity.
Demonstrated that sex-determining genes and hormones shape sexual traits and behaviors in multiple species.

MA et al. (2026) studied this question.
