If so, what factors contribute to this uneven gender ratio? I’m curious if there are natural reasons, like environmental pressures, reproductive strategies, or genetic factors, that lead certain species to favor one gender over the other. How common is this phenomenon, and what are some examples of species where an imbalanced gender ratio plays an important role in their behavior or survival?
