• Manipulation of primary sex-ratio: an updated review (2006, background): “Similarly, Fernandes Martins (2004) and Gorman and Nager (2004) manipulated food availability y quality to determine its effect on male and female chicks.”
• Sex-specific patterns of yolk androgen allocation depend on maternal diet in the zebra finch (2005, background): “…is thought to be adaptive because female fecundity (clutch size) is strongly related to female weight at fledging (Haywood and Perrins, 1992) and because females have lower rates of growth and survival on a poor quality diet (Bradbury and Blakey, 1998; de Kogel, 1997; Kilner, 1998; Martins, 2004).”
