Yes, there is, at least when you're talking about human intelligence (i.e. in one species), since intelligence isn't even a scientifcally proven concept.
It also doesn't work.
The relationship between fertility and intelligence has been investigated in many demographic studies. There is evidence that, on a population level, measures of intelligence such as educational attainment and literacy are negatively correlated with fertility rate in some contexts.
Basically any study like that that seriously considers IQ as a scientifically measurable value isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
IQ hasn't been proven to predict anything real.
It may not be accurate as an absolute meaure, but it does successfully measure relative intelligence across groups.
Or maybe it's just a knee jerk reaction to trash evidence that goes against your existing opinion.
The thing that IQs measure has never been shown.
Intelligence is defined as the thing that intelligence tests are measuring. It's a scientific tautology!
