The reference looked at dimorphism in detail - what it said was that the wings and tails of females were significantly shorter, but that they lay within the possible range of male measurements for the species (if that helps). Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:42, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What you you think that means in terms of averages and population distributions? Did it say that the female has a smaller bib? Snowman (talk) 21:29, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I just went back to it and read it - the bibs are significantly smaller too. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
