✦ Synopsis

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 occur. We prove that the point of expression of sex ratio does not affect the evolutionarily stable sex ratio for diploid hosts in populations infected with cytoplasmically inherited sex ratio distorters.

## Abstract Some previous studies indicate that the local hydric environment may influence sex determination in turtles with temperature‐dependent sex determination. In this study, the effect of a daily application of 0.77 mL of ddH~2~0 per egg using an incubation temperature of 29.1Β°C was examined

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

We critically review and classify models of single-species population dynamics subject to the demographic Allee effect with emphasis on non-spatial, deterministic approach. Inclusion of spatial movement and stochastic phenomena does not substantially change the behaviour; stochasticity only "blurs"
