A Method for Analyzing Selection in Hierarchically Structured Populations
Individual fitness depends on the particular ecological, genetic, and social contexts in which organisms are found. Variation in individual context among subunits of a population thus raises…

Alternative formulations of multilevel selection
TLDR
It is argued that the “effect hypothesis” of macroevolution, requiring, in selection among species, both the absence of group effects on organismic fitness (multilevel selection) and the direct determination of species fitnesses by those of organisms, is untestable with paleontological data.

DYNAMICS OF SEXUAL SELECTION IN DIPLOID POPULATIONS
TLDR
The behavior of the diploid, two‐locus model for the evolution of a female mating preference directed at an attractive male trait that is subject to viability and/or fertility selection was much more complex than that of analogous haploid or polygenic models.

A QUANTITATIVE GENETIC MODEL FOR THE ORIGIN OF MATING PREFERENCES

  • 1 November 1984
TLDR
A variety of theories have been proposed for the evolution of female mating preferences when paternal genes are the only contribution males make to their offspring, and most require that the fitness of a female's offspring somehow be predictable from the phenotype of a prospective mate.

Offspring Quality and the Polygyny Threshold: A New Model for the "Sexy Son" Hypothesis
TLDR
Consideration of the effect of reproduction over subsequent generations indicates that there is a limit to the number of generations over which a polygynously mated female can recoup an initial reproductive loss.

Inheritance of female mating propensities for yellow locus genotypes in Drosophila melanogaster
TLDR
It is suggested that genetic variation in female mating preferences may be an important source of variation in the reported mating success of mutant yellow males.

Eggshell Composition of Squamate Reptiles: Relationship between Eggshell Permeability and Amino Acid Distribution
TLDR
Multivariate analysis showed that proline was the most important amino acid in distinguishing between these two groups of eggshells, occurring at significantly higher levels in flexible egg shells.

Behavioral Reduction in the Transmission of Deleterious t Haplotypes by Wild House Mice
TLDR
The data suggest that the frequency of t haplotypes within populations may be correlated with the migration rate and that t haplotype may be found in high frequencies only in populations for which the Migration rate is high.

Quantitative genetic models of female choice based on “arbitrary” male characters
TLDR
Mating preferences that initially may arise as a mean of increasing offspring viability may nevertheless lead to indeterminate and potentially maladaptive evolutionary outcomes.

A Diploid "Sexy Son" Model
TLDR
A diploid sexy-son model is presented, demonstrating by counterexample that generalizations from haploid and additive polygenic models are not valid and the maximization principles derived from other models can be violated in the diploids case.
