Analysis of 17 species from six families indicates that male dimorphisms in weapon design may be common, at least in homed beetles. This flexibility in developmental programs constitutes evidence against the idea that the forms of these animals' weapons are the result of developmental constraints. © 1991 The Society for the Study of Evolution.Year: 1991 PMID: 28564069 DOI: 10.1111/j.1558-5646.1991.tb05262.x
