Transgenerational cues about local mate competition affect offspring sex ratios in the spider mite Tetranychus urticae
In structured populations, competition for mates between closely related males, termed Local Mate Competition (LMC), is expected to select for female-biased offspring sex ratios. However, the cues underlying sex allocation decisions remain poorly studied. Here, we test for several cues in the spider...
