Transient evolutionary epidemiology of viral adaptation and lethal mutagenesis

The paper examines how mutation rates affect viral adaptation and lethal mutagenesis, finding that high mutation rates can hinder adaptation but may enable lethal mutagenesis.

A single theory for the evolution of sex chromosomes and the two rules of speciation

This paper presents a unified theory explaining the evolution of sex chromosomes and the two rules of speciation by showing that Haldane's rule and the large X effect arise from gene expression misregulation in hybrid offspring.

How demography shapes linkage disequilibrium with or without recombination

The paper analyzes how demographic factors influence linkage disequilibrium measures under different recombination scenarios and provides recommendations for their use.

Can mechanistic constraints on recombination reestablishment explain the long-term maintenance of degenerate sex chromosomes?

This paper investigates whether mechanistic constraints on recombination can maintain degenerate sex chromosomes over the long term and finds they face theoretical difficulties.

Causes and consequences of linkage disequilibrium among transposable elements within eukaryotic genomes

This paper analyzes how recombination and reproductive systems influence transposable element dynamics through linkage disequilibrium in a classical model.

The evolution of recombination in self-fertilizing organisms

This study derives general expressions for selection on recombination in self-fertilizing organisms, showing selfing increases selection for recombination under weak selection against deleterious alleles.

Y recombination arrest and degeneration in the absence of sexual dimorphism

This paper challenges current sex chromosome evolution theory by showing dosage compensation can maintain Y chromosome strata without sexual dimorphism-driven selection.

The Geometry and Genetics of Hybridization

The paper develops a geometric framework to predict hybrid fitness by decomposing it into intrinsic and extrinsic factors, showing its applicability across population genetic regimes.

Epistasis, inbreeding depression and the evolution of self-fertilization

This study examines how epistasis and inbreeding depression influence the evolution of self-fertilization by analyzing their effects on purging and selection strength.

Asexual reproduction drives the reduction of transposable element load

The paper shows that asexual reproduction in yeast reduces transposable element loads over time through increased TE excision rates.

Evolution of life cycles and reproductive traits: insights from the brown algae

This study examines the evolution of life cycle and reproductive traits in brown algae, finding diploid growth may evolve due to mutation complementation and haploid sex determination is ancestral.

Effects of partial selfing on the equilibrium genetic variance, mutation load and inbreeding depression under stabilizing selection

This study examines how partial selfing affects genetic variance, mutation load, and inbreeding depression under stabilizing selection across multiple quantitative traits.
