BookDOI
Sex ratios : concepts and research methods
TL;DR: This book discusses sex ratios in birds and mammals: can the hypotheses be disentangled, and applications of sex ratios: adaptations and mechanisms, problems and prospects.
Book ChapterDOI
Statistical analysis of sex ratios : an introduction.
Kenneth Wilson,Ian C.W. Hardy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how to make best use of sex ratio data and identify three basic questions that such data can be used to answer: does the sex ratio differ from some theoretically expected mean value, does it differ from an expected distribution and is variation in sex ratio associated with some measured explanatory terms?

Clutch size in a parasitoid wasp : a manipulation experiment
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex ratio and mating structure in the parasitoid Hymenoptera.
TL;DR: An important group of organisms in stimulating the development of sex ratio theory, and in its empirical testing, have been the parasitoid Hymenoptera, which exhibit many life history variations and possess a mechanism by which females can adaptively control their progeny sex ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Possible factors influencing vertebrate sex ratios: an introductory overview
TL;DR: This introductory overview of sex ratio theory considers factors which may influence vertebrate sex ratios, and examines ‘empirical factors’ which influence parental ability to control offspring sex ratio, focusing on potential constraints imposed by sex determination mechanisms.
