Journal Article
Visser, B., Le Lann, C., Snaas, H., Hardy, I. C., & Harvey, J. A. (2014). Consequences of resource competition for sex allocation and discriminative behaviors in a hyperparasitoid wasp. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 68(1), 105-113. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-013-1627-1

Population-wide mating patterns can select for equal parental investment in both sexes, but limiting resources, such as mates or developmental substrates, can increase competition leading to biased sex ratios in favor of either sex. Such competition... Read More about Consequences of resource competition for sex allocation and discriminative behaviors in a hyperparasitoid wasp.

The introgression of genetic variation from related species into crops provides an important route by which superior plant varieties can be produced. The primary aim of introgression involves the transfer of a small chromosome segment from a related...
