Alstad, D.N., & Edmunds, G.F. 1989 Haploid and diploid survival differences demonstrate selection in scale insect demes.. Evolutionary Ecology 3: 253-263.

Notes: Abstract: Nuculaspis californica subdivided into genetically differentiated demes associated with individual pine trees; relative survival of males & females varied with overall mortality, causing a correlation between local densities & surviving sex ratio.
