Sex ratios of Mountain Plovers from egg production to fledging

Sex ratios of Mountain Plovers from egg production to fledging

Skewed sex ratios can have negative implications for population growth if they do not match a species' life history. A skewed tertiary sex ratio has been detected in a population of Mountain Plover (Charadrius montanus), a grassland shorebird experiencing population declines. To study the cause...
