A kin-selection approach to the resolution of sex-ratio conflict between mates.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Sept 2005

Wild Geoff, Taylor Peter D

Abstract excerpt

We investigate an instance of conflict between mates over the sex ratio of their brood. We construct a kin-selection model for the evolution of the sex ratio assuming local resource competition (LRC) among females. We explore two basic scenarios: (a) the case where parents make simultaneous sex-r...
