The Cost of Sex: Quantifying Energetic Investment in Gamete Production by Males and Females - PMC https://t.co/S9mcfCrGJh

@SpottedLaurier TRUE! See this great study: "The Cost of Sex" -> https://t.co/WE5ZBZyUm2

@enagoski looks like about 6Kcal, based on this paper http://t.co/xo9C02cNdx and average BMR of 1500kcal/day
