What is the evolutionary advantage for sexual dimorphism related to size? . .... Obviously, their ecologic niches ARE NOT the same.
If interested there is a lot out there on Centrarchidae. Neff did a lot of published work on BG which opened a lot of eyes. Keep in mind that BG have alternative reproductive species survival methods - males of alternative life histories. in his studies, Cuckolder males mature precociously at 2 years of age while normal parental males sexually mature at about 7 years of age. Nothing like this in LMB as an alternative survival method.
