The evolution of sex ratio adjustment in the presence of sexually antagonistic selection.

The American naturalist - 1 Sept 2010

Blackburn Gwylim S, Albert Arianne Y K, Otto Sarah P

Abstract excerpt

Sex ratio adjustment (SRA) of broods has received widespread interest as a means for optimizing parental investment in offspring. Classical explanations for the evolution of SRA focus on improving offspring fitness in light of resource availability or mate attractiveness. Here, we use genetic models to demonstrate that SRA can evolve to alleviate sexual antagonism by improving the chance that the alleles of a...
