About

I studied the intrasexual phenotypical variation in a natural population of the social rodent Octodon degus. I studied the funcional consequences of female and male behavioral tactics. I work with female and male masculinization gradient, with masculinizad and feminiaed females and with hypermasculinized and infantilized males. My study implies the study of proximal mechanism and functional consequences.
