Covering sex allocation, sex determination and operational sex
ratios, this multi-author volume provides both a conceptual context
and an instruction in methods for many aspects of sex ratio
research. Theory, statistical analysis and genetics are each
explained and discussed in the first three sections. The remaining
chapters each focus on research in one of a wide spectrum of
animal, plant and microbial taxa, including sex ratio distorting
bacteria in invertebrates, malarial parasites, b
