Reproductive skew


'''Reproductive skew''' is the difference in [[reproductive success]] between members of the same gender.  A 'high male reproductive skew' for a species would mean there is a high variance in [[reproductive success]] among men. There is substantial evidence that in humans (and many other animals), the females have a lower reproductive skew. [[Bateman's principle]] suggests this pattern is caused by sex differences in parental investment.
