Sex allocation in a patchy environment: a marginal value theorem

E L Charnov et al. J Theor Biol. .

Abstract

The ESS sex allocation when male/female fitnesses vary with patch type is a set of values which either equalizes the marginal values of the male/female fitness tradeoffs, or are pure sexes. This is shown for a hermaphrodite; the result is then generalized to other sex allocation cases.
