Abstract
Organisms allocate resources to male and female offspring in a process called sex allocation. In a Perspective, [Stuart West and colleagues][1] discuss what sex allocation tells us about evolution by natural selection and how sex allocation can be applied to understanding the mating structure of parasitic protozoans.
