Abstract

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).
