Molecular signatures of resource competition: clonal interference drives the emergence of ecotypes

TLDR
It is found that large mutational inputs can foster diversification under sympatry, increasing the probability that phenotypically and genetically distinct clusters arise and stably coexist, constituting an initial form of community.

The heritability of fertility makes world population stabilization unlikely in the foreseeable future

Using experimental divergence in competitive mating success to test sexual selection theory

Analysis of genetic diversity in a close population of Zandi sheep using genealogical information

In a Fisher–Wright idealized population (Fisher 1930; Wright 1931), characterized by Poisson distribution of family size, large number of breeders, random mating, equal sex ratio, absence of…

Behavioural correlates with hemipenis morphology in New World natricine snakes

TLDR
It is suggested that sexual conflict over copulation duration may have shaped the evolution of hemipenis morphology, favouring more elaborate organs in species in which a long duration of copulation is especially beneficial to males, despite the associated costs to females.

Rôle de l'information dans l'acquisition des partenaires sexuels et le choix du sexe de la descendance chez les hyménoptères parasitoïdes : exemple de Venturia Canescens Gravenhorst (Hymenoptera : Ichneumonidae)

TLDR
La sex-ratio est biaisee en faveur des femelles, mais contrairement aux predictions des modeles theoriques, le choix du sexe de the descendance ne semble pas dependre des informations liees aux conspecifiques.

Mechanisms of reinforcement in natural and simulated polymorphic populations

TLDR
Congruence of the results for allele frequencies versus fixation probabilities suggests that similar patterns of reinforcement are expected during different stages of the speciation process.

Intergenerational transmission of fertility, review of up to date research and some new evidence from Bejsce parish register reconstitution study, 18 th - 20 th centuries, Poland.

extended The paper aims at the review of up to date research on th e issue of intergenerational transmission of fertility. It the results obtained f rom various data, periods, population and…

The major transitions in the evolution of language

TLDR
The main challenges in evolutionary linguistics are to explain how three major linguistic innovations could have spread through a population where they are initially rare, and how universal properties and tendencies in natural languages can result from the intricate interaction between innate learning biases and a process of cultural evolution over many generations.

On the change of population fitness by natural selection2 3

TLDR
A general equation for the role of additive, dominance, and epistatic components of fitness in determining the rate of change in population fitness is given and claims that this law should hold the same position among the biological sciences as the second law of thermodynamics in physical sciences.

TLDR
The semiforked modifier rarely produces any visible effect when homozygous unless the forked gene is present, so it is unlikely that heterozygous forked flies are affected.
