The paper investigates how haplodiploidy and sex-specific selection influence recombination rates in eusocial Hymenoptera using a three-locus model and simulations.

This study shows that self-fertilization changes the evolutionary pressure on a recombination modifier in C. elegans, reversing selection from positive to negative.

The paper investigates the causes of positive signed linkage disequilibrium in genomic datasets, showing it may arise from technical artifacts and frequency-based biases.

The paper uses simulations to show that deleterious mutations reduce inversion fixation probabilities, but lucky inversions can still fix and influence macroevolution.

This study estimates the reduction in genetic diversity from background selection in populations with non-equilibrium demography and partial selfing, finding weak effects in outcrossers and stronger effects in selfers.

The paper examines how population structure and selection influence the evolution of sex in diploid organisms with deleterious mutations, finding that intermediate sex rates are generally favored.

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.

The paper shows that recombination modifiers can influence adaptation by altering local recombination rates, even if they reduce genome-wide polygenic adaptation.

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.
