Mating preferences of selfish sex chromosomes
P Muralidhar - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
The evolution of female mating preferences for harmful male traits is a central paradox of
sexual selection 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 – 9 . Two dominant explanations for this paradox 8 , 10 …

Changes in selection pressure can facilitate hybridization during biological invasion in a Cuban lizard
…, SN Michaelides, P Muralidhar… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Hybridization is among the evolutionary mechanisms most frequently hypothesized to drive
the success of invasive species, in part because hybrids are common in invasive populations…

Drift-induced selection between male and female heterogamety
Evolutionary transitions between male and female heterogamety are common in both
vertebrates and invertebrates. Theoretical studies of these transitions have found that, when all …

Sexual antagonism and the instability of environmental sex determination
P Muralidhar, C Veller - Nature ecology & evolution, 2018 - nature.com
The sex of an organism can be determined by its genetics or its early environment. Across the
animal kingdom, genetic sex determination (GSD) is far more common than environmental …

Assortative mating enhances postzygotic barriers to gene flow via ancestry bundling
Hybridization and subsequent genetic introgression are now known to be common features
of the histories of many species, including our own. Following hybridization, selection often …

Recombination and selection against introgressed DNA
DNA introgressed from one species into another is typically deleterious at many genomic
loci in the recipient species. It is therefore purged by selection over time. Here, we use …

Recombination and selection against introgressed DNA
Introgressed DNA is often deleterious at many loci in the recipient species’ genome, and is

Dominance shifts increase the likelihood of soft selective sweeps
P Muralidhar, C Veller - Evolution, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Genetic models of adaptation to a new environment have typically assumed that the alleles
involved maintain a constant fitness dominance across the old and new environments. …

Polygenic response of sex chromosomes to sexual antagonism
P Muralidhar, G Coop - Evolution, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Sexual antagonism occurs when males and females differ in their phenotypic fitness optima
but are constrained in their evolution to these optima because of their shared genome. The …

Variation in genetic relatedness is determined by the aggregate recombination process
The genomic proportion that two relatives share identically by descent—their genetic
relatedness—can vary depending on the history of recombination and segregation in their pedigree…
