- Trade-offs in modern parenting: a longitudinal study of sibling competition for parental care (2009, background): “Nevertheless, given that gender of child effects were much larger for fathers than mothers (particularly in later childhood), this result is consistent with the prediction of an overall parental investment bias towards sons (Keller et al., 2001).”
- Matriliny as daughter-biased investment (2003, background): “Where inherited wealth increases sons’ fitness more than daughters’ among both rich and poor, all parents may maximise their fitness by transmitting wealth to sons (Hartung, 1997; Keller et al., 2001).”
- Dying young and living fast: variation in life history across English neighborhoods (2010, result): “However, no such interactions were in fact observed, in keeping with the results of a large US study (Keller et al. 2001).”
