Most studies of sexual dimorphism in mammals focus on overall body size. However, relatively little is known about the differences in growth trajectories that produce dimorphism in organ and muscle size. We weighed six organs and four muscles in Rattus norvegicus to determine what heterochronic and
## Abstract New insights may be gleaned by taking an ontogenetic approach to investigations of adult dimorphism. Previous work in this area relied on traditional, caliper‐based, morphometric methods, and produced conflicting results. This study uses a three‐dimensional (3‐D) approach for both local
## Abstract We present body mass (N = 419) and crown‐rump length (CRL, N = 210) measurements from 38 male and 49 female mandrills born into a semifree‐ranging colony in order to describe growth from birth to adulthood, and to investigate maternal influences upon growth. Adult male mandrills are 3.4
