The Cost of Sex: Quantifying Energetic Investment in Gamete Production by Males and Females
The relative energetic investment in reproduction between the sexes forms the basis of sexual selection and life history theories in evolutionary biology. It is often assumed that males invest considerably less in gametes than females, but quantifying the energetic cost of gamete production in both...
