Fetal sex ratio in the rhesus (Macaca mulatta).
Fetal sex ratio was determined in several hundred timed Macaca mulatta pregnancies terminated by hysterotomy between 75 and 179 days' gestation. From 75 to 149 days' gestation a greater number of females occurred in utero, while after 150 days a greater number of males was observed. However, this difference was not statistically significant.
