After briefly reviewing aspects of the development and behaviour of such models an analytical treatment is presented which involves additive selection. Additive selection, as compared with truncation selection, decreases the advantage of sex to such an extent that it is unlikely that sibling competition could overcome its intrinsic two-fold cost, although it could still be important in promoting family variability produced by other mechanisms, such as polyandry."}],"doi":"10.1016/S0022-5193(86)80033-9","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1095-8541"],"issn":["0022-5193"]},"month":"06","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank M.
