Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how sexual size differences in mammals relate to gene family evolution, particularly focusing on brain development genes across 124 species.
  • Significant findings indicate that species with pronounced sexual size dimorphism tend to have expanded gene families linked to smell and reduced gene families involved in brain development.
  • The results suggest that intense sexual selection may influence gene family changes, contributing to our understanding of mammalian genome evolution and brain function.
