Article Outline
A)introduction
 * Operational sex ratio already has a page
 * The page already defines what OSR is
 * talks about importance of OSR to sexual selection
 * briefly talks about biased OSRs
 * also briefly touches on factors that affect OSR

B) what can be added?

1.) more competitive when there are more of a ceertain sex. 2.) use first article, and third article. 1. temperature, sperm-release, agression, mate-guarding, etc. 2.)use article 1, 4, and 5
 * Can uses Articles to elaborate on biased OSRs and the usual outcomes of selection when more biased to one sex than the other
 * Also use articles to elaborate on the factors that affect and change the OSR of populations
 * possibly touch on the theory of OSR

c) what research needs to be done still

- possibly more research on what affects the OSR. Seems to be some research with temperature variation and sperm-release, but not much else.
 * though the operational sex ratio theory does exist there is still not a lot of research that confirms the theory
 * need more research that proves variation in potential reproductive rates create bias in the OSR and this affects the strength of selection (competitiveness and choosiness).
