Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary interactions across levels of biological organization contribute to a variety of fundamental processes including genome evolution, reproductive mode transitions, species diversification, and extinction. Evolutionary theory predicts that so-called "selfish" genetic elements will proliferate when the host effective population size (Ne) is small, but direct tests of this prediction remain few. We...
