Using inclusive fitness models, this study determines the optimal patterns of split-sex-ratio allocation for hymenopteran workers when colonies have a single queen, and queens mate with either one or two males. This particular colony kin-structure is common in social Hymenoptera. Importantly, the ba

The sex ratio produced by an individual may be a consequence of relative frequencies of genotypes amongst offspring, or may result directly from parental (maternal) control. We analyse the evolutionarily stable sex ratio for a hypothetical organism in which both forms of sex ratio expression can occ
This paper proposes the hypothesis that countries with stronger sex preferences are more likely to have a negative relationship between crude birth rates and male/female ratios of newborn babies. Conversely, the existence of a significantly negative relationship in any country may also be a supporti
