Post [News Feed] New Theory Tests Sex Ratios Under Asymmetrical Local Mate Competition Among Parasitoid Wasps
In a new study featured in the September issue of The American Naturalist, David M. Shuker (University of Edinburgh) and colleagues show that females alter the sex ratio they produce on a host by considering whether there are already eggs on the host they are using and if there are other eggs already laid on other hosts in the patch.
