The paper develops a mutation-selection-drift balance model for complex diseases, finding that directional selection has little role in common variation but may affect rare variants, and suggests heritability estimates may be biased.

The paper develops models to test hypotheses about the relationship between sexual dimorphism and intersex correlation, finding that negative correlations arise only under specific assumptions.

This paper investigates when adaptation arises from polygenic responses versus few large effect changes by modeling trait genetics and ecological factors.
