The paper models parent-offspring conflict over sex determination in asymmetric genetic systems and finds ongoing conflict may shape diverse sex determination strategies.

The paper develops theoretical models to test evolutionary genetic principles in species with paternal genome elimination and monogeny.

This paper develops a kin-selection model to explore how chimerism affects social behavior and relatedness patterns in structured populations, finding increased altruism and internal conflicts due to somatic and germline chimerism.

The paper derives analytical expressions for the effective population size of X chromosomes and haplodiploids under cyclical parthenogenesis, showing how sex-specific factors influence genetic differentiation.
