Density-dependent sex ratio and sex-specific preference for host traits in parasitic bat flies.

Parasites & vectors - 29 Aug 2017

Szentiványi Tamara, Vincze Orsolya, Estók Péter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Deviation of sex ratios from unity in wild animal populations has recently been demonstrated to be far more prevalent than previously thought. Ectoparasites are prominent examples of this bias, given that their sex ratios vary from strongly female- to strongly male-biased both among hosts and at the metapopulation level. To date our knowledge is very limited on how and why these biased sex ratios...
