Co‐occurrence of multiple, supposedly incompatible modes of sex determination in a lizard population (2002, background): “Alternatively, mothers may allocate genetic males to smaller eggs, as occurs in some species of birds (Cordero et al. 2000).”
Lifetime reproductive success in relation to morphology in the house sparrow Passer domesticus (2004, background): “Furthermore, if male offspring on average have more variable survival because they need more resources during growth and development (see Cordero et al. 2000; Westneat et al. 2002), and are consequently more sensitive to environmental conditions during the juvenile period (see e.g. Clutton-Brock et…”
Manipulation of primary sex-ratio: an updated review (2006, background): “…different avian species present sexual dimorphism in egg size (Howe, 1977; Fiala, 1981; Ankney, 1982; Mead et al ., 1987; Anderson et al ., 1997; Cordero et al ., 2000, 2001; Petrie et al ., 2001; Magrath et al ., 2003; see also Blanco et al ., 2003a, 2003b for differences only at the ﬁrst egg).”
Seasonal variation in sex ratio and sexual egg dimorphism favouring daughters in first clutches of the spotless starling (2001, background): “, 1997) and the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) (Cordero et al., 2000) (see however, Weatherhead, 1985; Leblanc, 1987; Teather, 1989).”
Maternal allocation of androgens and antagonistic effects of yolk androgens on sons and daughters (2006, background): “Egg features such as size (Anderson et al., 1997; Cordero et al., 2000, 2001; Cunningham and Russell, 2000), concentration of androgens (Petrie et al., 2001; but see Eising et al., 2003; Elf and Fivizzani, 2002) or immune factors (Saino et al., 2003c), and growth patterns of oocytes (Young and Bad”
Extra pair paternity in birds: a review of interspecific variation and adaptive function (2002, background): “For example, females have been shown to invest differentially in eggs by either their sex (e.g. Cordero et al. 2000) or paternal phenotype (e.g. Cunningham & Russell 2000).”
