When plants or animals are '''dimorphic''', they occur in two visibly distinct forms. |
|||
For example, many types of birds are dimorphous. The males and females look different enough for them to be visually sexed. In [[budgerigars]], the birds can be sexed because males and females have [[cere]]s of different colors. A more extreme example is found in the [[eclectus]], where the male is predominantly green and the female is mainly scarlet; furthermore, the male's beak is orange and the female's is black. The difference between them is so striking that explorers originally thought they were two entirely different types of birds. |
