Evolution. The benefits of allocating sex.

S A West1, E A Herre, B C Sheldon.   

Abstract

Organisms allocate resources to male and female offspring in a process called sex allocation. In a Perspective, Stuart West and colleagues discuss what sex allocation tells us about evolution by natural selection and how sex allocation can be applied to understanding the mating structure of parasitic protozoans.
