Abstract
⺠We investigate the effect of maternal traits on meerkat offspring sex ratios. ⺠Maternal dominance status does not affect meerkat offspring sex ratios. ⺠Maternal mass and age do not affect meerkat offspring sex ratios. ⺠Advantages of producing mixed litters may reduce the benefits of sex ratio adjustment.
