The paper identifies sex chromosome turnover and mitonuclear conflict as drivers of reproductive isolation in hybridizing fish species.

The paper examines how sexually antagonistic environmental conditions influence the evolution and stability of environmental sex determination (ESD) through Charnov-Bull effects.

This study shows stabilizing selection on quantitative traits promotes stability of sex chromosome systems by reducing fitness of novel sexual genotypes during turnover.

The paper mathematically shows that individual components of a biological system can drift despite stabilizing selection on their combined product, with drift rates depending on genetic variance contributions.

The paper calculates the variance of genetic relatedness for general pedigrees, showing it depends on recombination process features like crossover interference and chromosome size.
