Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... this excellent book provides an up-to-date and critical review of the models and data relating to sex ratios. ... well structured and demonstrated that a multi-authored book can be cohesive.' TRENDS in Ecology and Evolution
'... clearly structured, instructive, generously brimming with examples and contains useful, concise chapter summaries. Evolutionary biologists will find it not only useful but also accessible and engaging.' Kate Oddie, Animal Behaviour
'Hardy has done an excellent job in editing a book that conveys the continuing excitement in sex ratio research while still, to paraphrase Darwin, leaving some problems for future solution.' Science

Book Description
This multi-author volume provides both a conceptual context and an instruction in methods for many aspects of sex ratio research. The book discusses theory, statistical analysis, and genetics, as well as research in one of a wide spectrum of animal, plant, and microbial taxa. Sex Ratios: Concepts and Research Methods is primarily intended for graduate and professional behavioral and evolutionary ecologists in this field, but it will also be useful to biologists building evolutionary models, and researchers analyzing data involving proportions or comparisons across phylogenetically related species.
