An example is <i><a href="/wiki/Lamprologus_callipterus" title="Lamprologus callipterus">Lamprologus callipterus</a></i>, a type of cichlid fish. In this fish, the males are characterized as being up to 60 times larger than the females. The male's increased size is believed to be advantageous because males collect and defend empty snail shells in each of which a female breeds.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Males must be larger and more powerful in order to collect the largest shells. The female's body size must remain small because in order for her to breed, she must lay her eggs inside the empty shells. If she grows too large, she will not fit in the shells and will be unable to breed. The female's small body size is also likely beneficial to her chances of finding an unoccupied shell. Larger shells, although preferred by females, are often limited in availability.<sup id="cite_ref-53" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-53"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Hence, the female is limited to the growth of the size of the shell and may actually change her growth rate according to shell size availability.<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In other words, the male's ability to collect large shells depends on his size. The larger the male, the larger the shells he is able to collect. This then allows for females to be larger in his brooding nest which makes the difference between the sizes of the sexes less substantial. Male–male competition in this fish species also selects for large size in males. There is aggressive competition by males over territory and access to larger shells. Large males win fights and steal shells from competitors. Another example is the <a href="/wiki/Dragonet" title="Dragonet">dragonet</a>, in which males are considerably larger than females and possess longer fins. </p><p>Sexual dimorphism also occurs in hermaphroditic fish.

It is often seen that a fish will change its sex when there is a lack of a dominant male within the social hierarchy. The females that change sex are often those who attain and preserve an initial size advantage early in life. In either case, females which change sex to males are larger and often prove to be a good example of dimorphism. </p><p>In other cases with fish, males will go through noticeable changes in body size, and females will go through morphological changes that can only be seen inside of the body.

This aspect also stems back to size dimorphism in species. It has been shown that the larger males are better at coping with the difficulties of migration and thus are more successful in reproducing when reaching the breeding destination.<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>73<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> When viewing this from an evolutionary standpoint, many theories and explanations come into consideration. If these are the result for every migration and breeding season, the expected results should be a shift towards a larger male population through sexual selection. Sexual selection is strong when the factor of environmental selection is also introduced. Environmental selection may support a smaller chick size if those chicks were born in an area that allowed them to grow to a larger size, even though under normal conditions they would not be able to reach this optimal size for migration. When the environment gives advantages and disadvantages of this sort, the strength of selection is weakened and the environmental forces are given greater morphological weight. The sexual dimorphism could also produce a change in timing of migration leading to differences in mating success within the bird population.<sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>74<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> When the dimorphism produces that large of a variation between the sexes and between the members of the sexes, multiple evolutionary effects can take place. This timing could even lead to a speciation phenomenon if the variation becomes strongly drastic and favorable towards two different outcomes. Sexual dimorphism is maintained by the counteracting pressures of natural selection and sexual selection. For example, sexual dimorphism in coloration increases the vulnerability of bird species to predation by European sparrowhawks in Denmark.<sup id="cite_ref-Møller-2006_75-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Møller-2006-75"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Presumably, increased sexual dimorphism means males are brighter and more conspicuous, leading to increased predation.<sup id="cite_ref-Møller-2006_75-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Møller-2006-75"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Moreover, the production of more exaggerated ornaments in males may come at the cost of suppressed immune function.<sup id="cite_ref-Lindsay-2009_71-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-2009-71"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>71<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> So long as the reproductive benefits of the trait due to sexual selection are greater than the costs imposed by natural selection, then the trait will propagate throughout the population. Reproductive benefits arise in the form of a larger number of offspring, while natural selection imposes costs in the form of reduced survival. This means that even if the trait causes males to die earlier, the trait is still beneficial so long as males with the trait produce more offspring than males lacking the trait. This balance keeps dimorphism alive in these species and ensures that the next generation of successful males will also display these traits that are attractive to females. </p><p>Such differences in form and reproductive roles often cause differences in behavior.

Larger females offer an advantage in fertility, since the physiological demands of reproduction are limiting in females. Hence there is a theoretical expectation that females tend to be larger in species that are monogamous. Females are larger in many species of <a href="/wiki/Insect" title="Insect">insects</a>, many <a href="/wiki/Spider" title="Spider">spiders</a>, many <a href="/wiki/Fish" title="Fish">fish</a>, many reptiles, <a href="/wiki/Owl" title="Owl">owls</a>, birds of prey and certain mammals such as the <a href="/wiki/Spotted_hyena" title="Spotted hyena">spotted hyena</a>, and baleen whales such as <a href="/wiki/Blue_whale" title="Blue whale">blue whale</a>. As an example, in some species, females are sedentary, and so males must search for them. Fritz Vollrath and <a href="/wiki/Geoff_Parker" title="Geoff Parker">Geoff Parker</a> argue that this difference in behaviour leads to radically different selection pressures on the two sexes, evidently favouring smaller males.<sup id="cite_ref-Vollrath-1992_136-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vollrath-1992-136"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>136<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Cases where the male is larger than the female have been studied as well,<sup id="cite_ref-Vollrath-1992_136-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vollrath-1992-136"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>136<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and require alternative explanations. </p><p>One example of this type of sexual size dimorphism is the bat <i><a href="/wiki/Myotis_nigricans" class="mw-redirect" title="Myotis nigricans">Myotis nigricans</a></i>, (black myotis bat) where females are substantially larger than males in terms of body weight, skull measurement, and forearm length.<sup id="cite_ref-137" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-137"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>137<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The interaction between the sexes and the energy needed to produce viable offspring makes it favorable for females to be larger in this species. Females bear the energetic cost of producing eggs, which is much greater than the cost of making sperm by the males. The fecundity advantage hypothesis states that a larger female is able to produce more offspring and give them more favorable conditions to ensure their survival; this is true for most ectotherms. A larger female can provide parental care for a longer time while the offspring matures. The gestation and lactation periods are fairly long in <i>M. nigricans</i>, the females suckling their offspring until they reach nearly adult size.<sup id="cite_ref-138" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-138"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>138<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> They would not be able to fly and catch prey if they did not compensate for the additional mass of the offspring during this time.
