Local resource competition and the skewness of the sex ratio: a demographic model
Most animal populations are characterized by balanced sex ratios, but thereexist several exceptions in which the sex ratio at birth is skewed. Aninteresting hypothesis proposed by Clark (1978) to explain male-biased sexratios is the local resource competition theory: the bias may be expected inthose...
