Using body length data from 72 populations over the species range we analyzed
how male size, female size, and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is associated with our
explanatory variables. We revealed a moderate effect of reproductive mode (larger
female size and higher SSD in viviparous vs. oviparous populations) and a strong but
complex effect of seasonality: across the lineages, as well as within the Eastern Viviparous
lineage, female size and SSD increase with increasing seasonality, whereas the Western
Viviparous lineage followed the opposing trends.
