Population sex ratio variation in a monogamous long‐lived bird, the wandering albatross (2005, background): “In humans the sex ratio at birth is also above parity (proportion of males = 0·512–0·514, Lazarus 2002) and similarly explained in terms of a greater male mortality during the period of parental care or just after (Fisher 1930).”
The Evolution of Culturally-Variable Sex Differences: Men and Women Are Not Always Different, but When They Are…It Appears Not to Result from Patriarchy or Sex Role Socialization (2015, background): “…strongly associated with shifts in men’s and women’s sexuality (Guttentag and Secord 1983), it remains unclear which sex differences in sexuality are facultatively versus emergently responding to local sex ratios (Hudson and Den Boer 2004; Lazarus 2002; Marlowe and Berbesque 2012; Pedersen 1991).”
Sociosexuality from Argentina to Zimbabwe: A 48-nation study of sex, culture, and strategies of human mating (2005, background): “Nevertheless, significant variation often exists in sex ratios across cultures and within cultures when viewed over historical time (Guttentag & Secord 1983; Lazarus 2002).”
