Therefore the direct comparison with the sex ratio of singletons probably underestimates the difference between multiple born children and singletons.

Journal of Sex Research. These children now mate with each natural selection sex ratio in Stretford to produce the grandchildren of the 7 females. In: 8th Congr. This varies enormously in amount natural selection sex ratio in Stretford different species, but, in all, there has been, before the offspring is able to lead an independent existence, a certain expenditure of nutriment in addition, almost universally, to some expenditure of time or activity, which the parents are induced by their instincts to make for the advantage of their young.
Notice that the female represented by a circle had the highest fitness because she produced the most of the less common sex females. The two approaches differ in the emphasis placed on different forms of selection.
A conundrum remains though. This varies enormously in amount in different species, but, in all, there has been, before the offspring is able to lead an independent existence, a certain expenditure of nutriment in addition, almost universally, to some expenditure of time or activity, which the parents are induced by their instincts to make for the advantage of their young.
Abstract Analysis of the effect of multiple birth, birth order, age of parents and the sexes of preceding siblings on the secondary sex ratio was performed for children, born in Denmark, —
