Sex ratios under asymmetrical local mate competition: theory and a test with parasitoid wasps.
Sex ratio theory allows unparalleled opportunities for testing how well animal behavior can be predicted by evolutionary theory. For example, Hamilton's theory of local mate competition (LMC) is well understood and can explain variation in sex allocation across numerous species. This allows mor...
