Article pertaining to changes in sex ratios
There's an interesting article you can find at the following link: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080920.FRAGILE20//TPStory/Environment
"The University of Pittsburgh's Devra Davis, in a study issued last year, found that the U.S. and Japan combined had a staggering tally of 262,000 "missing boys" from 1970 to about 2000 because of a decline in the sex ratio at birth. Although it could be a statistical anomaly, she says the figure is "very worrisome.""
While I think some of the conclusions of the researchers are a bit hasty in this article, I do think they're definitely onto something.
