An alternation between diploid and haploid phases is universal among sexual eukaryotes, with three cycle categories distinguished by the presence or absence of mitosis in each phase. Across this biphasic cycle, ‘narrow sense’ natural selection and sexual selection occur in both phases. Together, these four stages of selection arise from variation in the phenotypes of individuals and influence the [...]
