However, in societies with small groups at large distances, and in times of intermittent famine, this strategy is cortueu-prodtcnive, since it soon leads to a lack of women, and thus offspring.Why? It could also mean lack of men. Actually I find is that this phenomenon seems raher against partilocality, because you may end up with a clan (all syblings or cousins by male side) that only produces women. Instead in matrilocality the effect of this anomaly would be null or nearly so.
