It's kind of a trivial observation: the higher the ratio of men to women, the lower the male fertility rate is relative to the female one, since the number of babies born is, of necessity, equal. For more detail, you need to look at relative birth rates and relative mortality rates, both sliced and diced into age cohorts. The scientists also broke it down by geographic regions.
