Abstract
⺠Trivers-Willard predictions on sex ratio may not apply to broods. ⺠We model adaptive parental decisions on offspring sex for litters/broods. ⺠Increasing parental resources may increase sex ratio if brood size does not vary. ⺠If brood size varies, parental resources may be negatively related to brood sex ratio.
