the prediction that workers in haplodiploid colonies favour a 3:1 female-biased investment in sexuals while queens favour 1:1, so observed ratios reveal who controls allocation.

In entomology, Trivers-Hare hypothesis refers to the prediction that workers in haplodiploid colonies favour a 3:1 female-biased investment in sexuals while queens favour 1:1, so observed ratios reveal who controls allocation. This meaning comes from Trivers (1976) in Science.[1]
