The paper shows that pseudomagic trait complexes can promote stronger premating isolation than magic traits by increasing assortative mating preferences when polymorphism is maintained.

This study models how Müllerian mimicry influences the evolution of conspicuousness in defended prey species, showing that less conspicuous patterns are generally favored unless they impair mimicry.

The paper models how volatile social environments can favor a focused strategy of forming few strong social bonds over a diversifying strategy, using antagonistic pleiotropy theory.

The paper shows that admixture can lead to supergene formation through the evolution of chromosomal inversions with recessive fitness costs.

The paper shows that weak costs of female choosiness can promote reproductive isolation in parapatric speciation by reducing indirect selection against strong choosiness.

This study evaluates whether transmissible cancers could drive the evolution of sex under the Red Queen hypothesis, finding that horizontal transmission reduces fluctuating selection, while vertical transmission promotes sex through similarity selection.

This study shows that coevolving male and female mate choice can lead to periodic hybridization and destabilize reproductive isolation through deterministic preference cycling driven by stochasticity.
