You'll want to search for things like 'male variance' or look at Baumeister's Is There Anything Good About Men?.

Thanks, that seems like a good place to start looking.

Incidentally, if you question the claims about numbers of males successfully reproducing vs female, we've already tracked down the citations and jailbroken them in http://lesswrong.com/lw/h4e/differential_reproduction_for_men_and_women/

Not so much that I question the claims, more that I'd like to know more in-depth about the subject.
