  332. by diverse mechanisms. Sex ratio selection is commonly&#13;
  333. implicated in the evolution of sex-determining systems,&#13;
  334. although formal models are rare. Here, we argue that,&#13;
  335. although sex ratio selection can induce shifts in sex&#13;
  336. determination, genomic conflicts between parents and&#13;
  337. offspring can explain why single-factor systems (e.g. XY/&#13;
  338. XX or ZW/ZZ) are common even in species that experience&#13;
  339. selection for biased sex ratios. Importantly, evolutionary&#13;
  340. shifts in sex determination do not always result&#13;
  341. in the biased production of sons and daughters sensu&#13;
  342. sex ratio theory. Thus, equal sex ratios might be an&#13;
  343. emergent character of sex-determining systems even&#13;
  344. when biased sex ratios are favored by selection.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270205.html">270000 Biological Sciences &gt; 270200 Genetics &gt; 270205 Genetic Development (incl.
