The Cost of Sex: Quantifying Energetic Investment in
Gamete Production by Males and Females
April Hayward*, James F. Gillooly
Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America
Abstract
The relative energetic investment in reproduction between the sexes forms the basis of sexual selection and life history
theories in evolutionary biology. It is often assumed that males invest considerably less in gametes than females, but
quantifying the energetic cost of gamete production in both sexes has remained a difficult challenge. For a broad diversity
of species (invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, birds, and mammals), we compared the cost of gamete production
between the sexes in terms of the investment in gonad tissue and the rate of gamete biomass production. Investment in
gonad biomass was nearly proportional to body mass in both sexes, but gamete biomass production rate was
approximately two to four orders of magnitude higher in females. In both males and females, gamete biomass production
rate increased with organism mass as a power law, much like individual metabolic rate. This suggests that whole-organism
energetics may act as a primary constraint on gamete production among species. Residual variation in sperm production
rate was positively correlated with relative testes size. Together, these results suggest that understanding the heterogeneity
in rates of gamete production among species requires joint consideration of the effects of gonad mass and metabolism.
