FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Researchers have found that a child's sex is associated with the mother's diet.
Males' breeding potential is strongly influenced by fitness, while females breed more consistently.
"If a mother has plentiful resources then it can make sense to invest in producing a son because he is likely to produce more grandchildren than would a daughter. However, in leaner times having a daughter is a safer bet," Mathews said.
Some researchers have been sounding alarms for years over the change in sex ratios in developed countries and have in the past blamed pollutants and synthetic chemicals such as those found in some pesticides which disrupt human hormones.
The latest findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.
