Polyandry in nature: a global analysis
A popular notion in sexual selection is that females are polyandrous and their offspring are
commonly sired by more than a single male. We now have large-scale evidence from …

The ecology and evolutionary dynamics of meiotic drive
Meiotic drivers are genetic variants that selfishly manipulate the production of gametes to
increase their own rate of transmission, often to the detriment of the rest of the genome and …

Resistance to natural and synthetic gene drive systems
Scientists are rapidly developing synthetic gene drive elements intended for release into
natural populations. These are intended to control or eradicate disease vectors and pests, or …

Sex chromosome drive
Sex chromosome drivers are selfish elements that subvert Mendel's first law of segregation
and therefore are overrepresented among the products of meiosis. The sex-biased progeny …
