The effects of sex ratio on sexual competition in the European lobster
Animal Behaviour, 1999During the breeding season an individual's access to mates may be affected by operational sex ratios, causing strong variation in mating success. We manipulated adult sex ratios of the European lobster, Homarus gammarus, to test the predictions of models that relate sexual competition to (1) the sex ratio, (2) the time that an individual is not ...

Analysis of Plant Competition Experiments for Different Ratios of Species
Biometrika, 1967SUMMARY An analysis is suggested for an experiment investigating competition between different plant species when they are grown in monoculture and in mixed cultures with species not in equal proportions. tion. An analysis is now obtained for a similar experiment in which mixed cultures are grown with species in the ratio u: v, where u + v = 1 and u ...

Operational Sex Ratio and Female Competition
2014When there is a surplus of one sex in a population, members of that sex often compete against each other for access to the scarcer sex. This chapter reviews the theoretical foundations for this phenomenon, focusing on the concept of operational sex ratio (OSR; the ratio of viable and available males to females in a given mating market) versus overall ...

The Resource Ratio Hypothesis and the Meaning of Competition
Functional Ecology, 1987Since its appearance in the 1980 volume of American Naturalist, Tilman's resource ratio hypothesis has attracted much attention. In this issue of Functional Ecology we are publishing a critical appraisal of the hypothesis, with a reply from Professor Tilman. We hope this Special Forum will stimulate further discussion, and we look forward to publishing

Sex Ratio and Local Resource Competition in a Prosimian Primate
Science, 1978Competition between female kin for local limiting resources may explain a male-biased secondary sex ratio in the prosimian Galago crassicaudatus. Data demonstrating the skewed sex ratio, a brief summary of field observations on the species, and a simple mathematical statement of the hypothesis are presented.
