A sex skew in life-history research: the problem of missing males.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 27 Jul 2022

Archer C Ruth, Paniw Maria, Vega-Trejo Regina, Sepil Irem

Abstract excerpt

Life-history strategies are diverse. While understanding this diversity is a fundamental aim of evolutionary biology and biodemography, life-history data for some traits-in particular, age-dependent reproductive investment-are biased towards females. While other authors have highlighted this sex skew, the general scale of this bias has not been quantified and its impact on our understanding of evolutionary...
