dc.description.abstract | Based on both previously published literature and results reported here, it appears that Drosophila melanogaster meet the explicit assumptions of the Trivers and Willard offspring sex allocation model. However, contrary to the model's predictions, offspring sex ratio was not significantly affected when we manipulated factors that influence offspring quality. We suggest that contrary to implicit predictions of offspring sex ratio models, Drosophila may lack the genetic plasticity to readily alter sex ratio. | en_US |
