Models of Status-Correlated Bias in Offspring Sex Ratio
-We study a simple model describing the genealogic structure of a population in which the sex ratio of offspring varies with a parent's position in a social hierarchy. This model is based on species in which one sex disperses and in which rank in a stable social hierarchy for the other sex is "inherited" by the offspring of that sex. We find that biased production of offspring in such a social ...
متن کاملSex ratio bias, male aggression, and population collapse in lizards.
The adult sex ratio (ASR) is a key parameter of the demography of human and other animal populations, yet the causes of variation in ASR, how individuals respond to this variation, and how their response feeds back into population dynamics remain poorly understood. A prevalent hypothesis is that ASR is regulated by intrasexual competition, which would cause more mortality or emigration in the s...
متن کاملSex ratio bias in managed populations of hylobatids.
A number of explanations have been proposed for the occurrence of sex ratio bias in primates, including the Trivers-Willard hypothesis on differential investment, local resource competition or enhancement as a result of sex-biased dispersal, dominance-related advantages conferred on one sex but not the other, and the fragile male hypothesis. However, none of these theories was thought to be app...
متن کاملBirds bias offspring sex ratio in response to livestock grazing.
Livestock grazing, which has a large influence on habitat structure, is associated with the widespread decline of various bird species across the world, yet there are few experimental studies that investigate how grazing pressure influences avian reproduction. We manipulated grazing pressure using a replicated field experiment, and found that the offspring sex ratio of a common upland passerine...
متن کاملSerial monogamy and sex ratio bias in Nazca boobies.
Biased operational sex ratios (OSRs) can drive sexual selection on members of the over-represented sex via competition for mates, causing higher variance and skew in reproductive success (RS) among them if an individual's quality is a persistent characteristic. Alternatively, costs of reproduction may degrade breeding performance, creating the opportunity for members of the limiting sex to swit...
