Short-term sex-bias in ovulation sequence in house finch females. Sex-bias in response to A) ambient temperature below egg-viability threshold during early breeding season in Montana (n = 86 nests), and B) late season nest mite infestation in Arizona (n = 110 nests). In both populations, there was no sex-bias in ovulation sequence in other parts of the breeding season. Asterisks show sex-ratios significantly deviating from parity. Coefficient of variation (cv) indicates variability in relative ovulation sequence of male and female eggs (see Methods).
