Often only the mean or mean difference between sexes is given. This may or may not preclude overlap in distributions. For example, males are, on average, taller than females, but an individual female could be taller than an individual male. The extents of these differences vary across different regions and populations.
Widening of hips; [1] [2] lower waist to hip ratio than adult males. [20] Upper arms approximately 2 cm longer, on average, for a given height. [21] Labia minora, the inner lips of the vulva, may grow more prominent and undergo changes in color with the increased stimulation related to higher levels of estrogen. [22]
Because of this and because males go through puberty for longer, females typically have lower total muscle mass than males, and also have lower muscle mass in comparison to total body mass. [8] Males convert more of their caloric intake into muscle and expendable circulating energy reserves, while females tend to convert more into fat deposits ...
Although males are on average 2 centimetres (0.8 in) shorter than females before puberty begins, adult men are on average about 13 centimetres (5.1 in) taller than women. Most of this sex difference in adult heights is attributable to a later onset of the growth spurt and a slower progression to completion, a direct result of the later rise and ...
In Osmia rufa, for example, the female is larger/broader than males, with males being 8–10 mm in size and females being 10–12 mm in size. [29] In the hackberry emperor females are similarly larger than males. [30] The reason for the sexual dimorphism is due to provision size mass, in which females consume more pollen than males. [31]
