Abstract: Age-related improvement in reproductive performance is widespread in vertebrates and constraints at young ages are a common cause. The sex that invests energetically more in reproduction, typically the female, is predicted to show stronger age-related… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1350293x.2017.1308165
Abstract: ABSTRACT In this observational study, male and female professional caregivers’ (n = 42) levels of sensitivity and stimulation toward three-year-old children (n = 42) were observed in a semi-structured play situation. Further, sex roles of male and female caregivers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arab005
Abstract: The effects of sexual selection are more conspicuous among male animals, and, as a result, the majority of sexual selection research focuses on males. However, burgeoning evidence suggests that sexual selection also acts on females,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2016.0321
Abstract: Theoretical models and empirical studies in various taxa have identified important links between variation in sex roles and the number of adult males and females (adult sex ratio (ASR)) in a population. In this review,… read more here.

Sex roles and sex ratios in animals

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12915
Abstract: In species with separate sexes, females and males often differ in their morphology, physiology and behaviour. Such sex‐specific traits are functionally linked to variation in reproductive competition, mate choice and parental care, which have all… read more here.

Short- and Long-Term Social Effects of Parental Sex Roles in Zebra Finches
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00294
Abstract: Parental care is among the most widespread and variable behavioural traits between and within species, associated often both with large fitness costs and benefits. Despite its fitness consequences and evolutionary significance, we know very little… read more here.
