"reverse sexual dichromatism'"

what does 'reverse' mean here? Or what does 'reverse sexual dichromatism' mean? 173.33.191.183 (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

That the male and female are different colours, and that the female is brighter than the male rather than the more usual male bright display colours and female camouflage colours seen in birds.

Have added a few words on the first mention to explain - hope it's clear. FloweringOctopus (talk) 21:22, 18 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
