“…The allometry of genitalia has been of recent interest because of the realization that variation in the size and shape of genitalia may be heavily influenced by sexual selection (Hosken & Stockley, 2004). Traits under sexual selection are predicted to exhibit positive allometry (Green, 1992; Petrie, 1992; Pomiankowski & Møller, 1995; Kodric‐Brown, Sibly & Brown, 2006; but see Bonduriansky, 2007), and there is substantial evidence that the mammalian baculum exhibits positive allometry in a variety of species, ostensibly because of the baculum's importance in post‐copulatory selection (Miller & Burton, 2001; Lüpold et al ., 2004; Kinahan et al ., 2007; Ramm, 2007; Tasikas et al ., 2009; but see Kinahan et al ., 2008; Manjerovic et al ., 2008; Ramm et al ., 2010). These studies have focused on mammals that do not exhibit the male‐biased sexual size dimorphism typical in mammals (Andersson, 1994).…”
