Haplodiploidy and the Evolution of Eusociality: Split Sex Ratios
TL;DR: It is shown that several possible promoters of the haplodiploidy effect would have been unimportant on the route to eusociality, because they involve traits that evolved only after eussociality had become established and the level of promiscuity has a strong and consistently negative influence on selection for helping.

Nascent multicellular life and the emergence of individuality.

TL;DR: A relaxed interpretation of Lewontin’s conditions is proposed and presented in the form of a set of necessary requirements for evolution by natural selection based upon the establishment of genealogical connections between recurrences of collectives, which applies to loosely defined collectives of cells.

Demography beyond the population
TL;DR: It is suggested that connecting demography beyond the population level offers promising avenues of innovation in ecology and evolution and that there is much to be gained by linking demography to other disciplines and scales in Ecology and evolution.

Resolving the Conflict Between Associative Overdominance and Background Selection.
Lei Zhao,Brian Charlesworth +1 more
TL;DR: Analytical, numerical, and simulation studies that shed light on the conditions under which retardation vs. acceleration of loss of variability occurs at a neutral locus linked to a locus under selection and on the results of computer simulations of the effects of multiple selected loci on neutral variability are described.
Spatial variation in selective regimes: sexual selection in the water strider,
TL;DR: This study compares the sexual selection regimes in natural populations of the water strider Gerris odontogaster with a priori predictions of selection, based on a number of previous field and laboratory studies of the behavioral mechanisms of selection.
