Maternal-effect selfish genes such as Medea or Scat act to kill progeny that do not bear a copy of the selfish gene present in the mother. Previous models of this system allowed for two types of allele, the selfish (killer) type and the sensitive (susceptible) wild-type. These models predict that th

## Abstract The Segregation Distorter (__SD__) system of __Drosophila melanogaster__ is one the best‐characterized meiotic drive complexes known. __SD__ gains an unfair transmission advantage through heterozygous __SD/SD__^+^ males by incapacitating __SD__^+^‐bearing spermatids so that virtually al

Previous models of the evolution of selfish transposable genetic elements have failed to include the possibility that transposition may be limited by shortage of a host-encoded factor. The titration of host factors may be important in limiting the rate of transpositional increase in these elements.
