Beschreibung:
Sex ratio affects the growth rates of wild populations; so, for a better understanding of population dynamics, it is crucial to know the mechanisms that determine it. We analyzed seasonal variation in sex ratio of the copepod Arctodiaptomus salinus . It was in general male-skewed and affected by temperature. Our results suggest that investing in the "cheaper sex" might be a good strategy of this population to increase population growth rate.
