Reproductive skew in vertebrates : proximate and ultimate causes /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Reproductive skew is the study of how reproduction is partitioned in animal societies. In many social animals reproduction is shared unequally and leads to a reproductive skew among group members. Skew theory investigates the genetic and ecological factors causal to the partitioning of reproduction...
