Sex roles and sex ratios in animals
In species with separate sexes, females and males often differ in their morphology,
physiology and behaviour. Such sex‐specific traits are functionally linked to variation in …

Early‐life food stress hits females harder than males in insects: A meta‐analysis of sex differences in environmental sensitivity
Fitness consequences of early‐life environmental conditions are often sex‐specific, but
corresponding evidence for invertebrates remains inconclusive. Here, we use meta‐analysis …

Mechanisms that can cause population decline under heavily skewed male‐biased adult sex ratios
S Chiba, A Iwamoto, S Shimabukuro… - Journal of Animal …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
While adult sex ratio (ASR) is a crucial component for population management, there is still
