Sexual dimorphism in Heosemys spinosa (Testudines: Geoemydidae) from Sarawak, Borneo
Sexual dimorphism in turtles, comprising secondary sexual characteristics of morphology, has previously been reviewed by Berry and Shine (1980) and Gibbons and Lovich (1990). Colour differences (sexual dichromatism) have been discussed less often (but see Moll et al., 1981; Ennen et al., 2015),...

| Summary: | Sexual dimorphism in turtles, comprising secondary
sexual characteristics of morphology, has previously been
reviewed by Berry and Shine (1980) and Gibbons and
Lovich (1990). Colour differences (sexual dichromatism)
have been discussed less often (but see Moll et al., 1981;
Ennen et al., 2015), perhaps because of challenges
associated with colour standardisation and loss of
pigmentation details upon preservation (Coon, 1949). |
