I wonder whether, across a broad range of taxa, there would be a correlation between how ecologically sexually dimorphic a species is (e.g., see Bolnick & Doebeli's 2003 "two sides of the same ecological coin" paper) and how divergent the sexes are in parasite load/response? In other words, perhaps the difference between the sexes is due to the different ecological roles they play? And perhaps is even adaptive in each sex?Ben Hallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875404974157070805noreply@blogger.com
