Female alternative reproductive tactics: diversity and drivers
It is often argued that anisogamy causes alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) to be more
common in males than females. We challenge this view by pointing out logical flaws in the …

Evaluating reasons for biased sex ratios in Crustacea
C Ewers-Saucedo - Invertebrate Reproduction & Development, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
While equal ratios of males and females are normal, crustacean sex ratios are frequently
biased. Here I review potential reasons for sex ratio biases in animals, and evaluate how …

Predator kairomone triggers sexual reproduction of Daphnia population via increasing population density
Both predation risk and crowding can induce sexual reproduction in Daphnia, and predator
kairomones can also cause population crowding. It is, however, unclear as to whether …
