question 28

Short Answer

The Kakapo is a critically endangered flightless parrot from New Zealand. A number of efforts have been employed in order to stave off its extinction. Early on, the parrots were given supplemental food in order to ensure that they remained healthy. This had a positive impact on survival, but unfortunately the population remained at risk, in part because sex ratios were highly male biased. Based on research on sex ratios in other species, offer a hypothesis as to why sex ratios were male biased.
