FERTILITY INSURANCE AND THE SEX RATIOS OF MALARIA AND RELATED HEMOSPORORIN BLOOD PARASITES

1 Apr 2002

Abstract excerpt

The sex ratio (z*; proportion of gametocytes that are male) of malaria and related hemospororin blood parasites has been predicted to be related to the inbreeding rate (f) by the simple equation z* = (1 - f)/2. Although there is some empirical support for this prediction, there are several cases where the sex ratio is less female biased or more variable than expected. Here, we present a theoretical model that may...
