• Manipulation of primary sex-ratio: an updated review (2006, background): “This implies that a gene on an autosome would have to determine the sex chromosome related to itself, promoting its suicide if the signal determines that it is from the wrong sex (Krackow, 2002).”
• Primary sex ratio adjustment to experimentally reduced male UV attractiveness in blue tits (2006, background): “However, when applied to primary sex ratio variation in vertebrates with chromosomal sex determination, such as birds, the explanatory success of sex allocation theory seems modest (Williams 1979; Clutton-Brock 1986; Krackow 2002; Ewen et al. 2004; but see West and Sheldon 2002; West et al. 2005).”
