The SRB imbalance in parts of the world over the past several decades is a direct consequence of sex-selective abortion, driven by the co-existence of son preference, readily available technology of prenatal sex determination, and fertility decline.

Amazon Forest Fires Between 2001 and 2006 and Birth Weight in Porto Velho [PDF]
