合作社会和社会社会中的生殖偏差模型表明，统治者允许下属繁殖，以促使他们在群体中保持和平。然而，目前尚不清楚这些模型的假设在动物社会中的应用范围有多大，而且它们预测的许多趋势与一个更简单的建议是一致的，即统治者和从属者之间存在繁殖斗争，其结果取决于双方竞争的潜在成本和收益。现在需要将这种竞争和实证研究结合起来的生殖偏差模型，以清楚地区分生殖让步和控制失败。
Models of reproductive skew in cooperative and eusocial societies suggest that dominants allow subordinates to breed to induce them to remain peaceably in the group. However, it is not yet clear how widely the assumptions of these models apply to animal societies, and many of the trends that they predict are consistent with the simpler suggestion that there is a struggle for reproduction between dominants and subordinates, whose outcome depends on the potential costs and benefits of the contest to both parties. Models of reproductive skew that incorporate contests of this kind and empirical studies that can discriminate clearly between reproductive concessions and failures of control are now needed.
