Journal ArticleDOI
Mating systems, philopatry and dispersal in birds and mammals
TL;DR: It is argued that the direction of the sex bias is a consequence of the type of mating system, and Philopatry will favour the evolution of cooperative traits between members of the sedentary sex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
