COMMENTS

Original definition:  Paired sequence: {male,female} ={Floor[A000045(n)/2],A000045[n]-Floor[A000045(n)/2]}

Shows excess of females over males in Fibonacci sequences.

In most species survival has demanded that there are more females born than males. When they aren't equal, females are larger by one. A natural asymmetry of nature that lends to survival.
