Determining the Optimal Sex Ratio in a Dynamic Sex Allocation System

Katrina Zarrella


This project focuses on creating a model to determine the optimal sex ratio, or Evolutionary Stable Strategy, in a population that has the ability to change its sex dependent on different biological and environmental cues. With specific attention towards a single family of fishes, their specific circumstances will be incorporated into a general model which may or may not work realistically. However, the development of such a model is helpful to the process of understanding a complex system.
