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

The paper shows stabilizing selection on quantitative traits can purge introgressed DNA even when populations have similar optimal trait values and identical demographics.

The paper shows that linkage disequilibria from stabilizing selection slow allele-frequency dynamics and provides more accurate predictions than previous formulas.

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.

This paper shows that family-based GWAS estimates are not generally unbiased for average causal effects but can provide insights into Mendelian segregation's contribution to population-level trait variance.

This paper analyzes confounding in population and family-based GWASs, showing family-based estimates can be biased by genetic confounding and interactions.

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

The paper introduces a new measure of genome-wide genetic shuffling that accounts for crossover positions and Mendel’s second law, showing it is nearly maximal in humans due to independent assortment.
