Dimorphic

Tortoises are sexually dimorphic.

There are a few parts of the brain that are sexually dimorphic, and in trans individuals prior to any hormones, those structures resemble their gender more than their assigned sex.

Molecular data, specifically CO1 DNA barcodes obtained via Sanger sequencing, will be used to (1) complement ecological and morphological data in the resolution of species-level problems for which morphology is ambiguous or inadequate, and (2) associate the sexes of sexually dimorphic species and associate larvae with adults.
