Gene-culture coevolution and sex ratios: II. Sex-chromosomal distorters and cultural preferences for offspring sex.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Aug 1997

Kumm J, Feldman M W

Abstract excerpt

Cultural preferences for the sex of offspring may produce behavior, such as female infanticide, sex-selective abortion and sex-selective parental investment, which alter the sex ratio in a population. Empirical evidence suggests that some genetic sex-ratio distorters are located on the sex chromosomes. Interactions between cultural preferences and sex-linked sex-ratio distorters are examined. Criteria for the...
