Haploid selection, sex ratio bias, and transitions between sex-determining systems.

PLoS biology - 1 Jun 2018

Scott Michael Francis, Osmond Matthew Miles, Otto Sarah Perin

Abstract excerpt

Sex determination is remarkably dynamic; many taxa display shifts in the location of sex-determining loci or the evolution of entirely new sex-determining systems. Predominant theories for why we observe such transitions generally conclude that novel sex-determining systems are favoured by selection if they equalise the sex ratio or increase linkage with a locus that experiences different selection in males...
