Sexually antagonistic chromosomal cuckoos.

Biology letters - 23 Oct 2009

Rice William R, Gavrilets Sergey, Friberg Urban

Abstract excerpt

The two kinds of sex chromosomes in the heterogametic parent are transmitted to offspring with different sexes, causing opposite-sex siblings to be completely unrelated for genes located on these chromosomes. Just as the nest-parasitic cuckoo chick is selected to harm its unrelated nest-mates in order to garner more shared resources, sibling competition causes the sex chromosomes to be selected to harm siblings...
