The provisioning of offspring in sexually reproducing organisms provides an arena in which genetic conflict of interests between parents and their offspring may be expressed.

Most models of parental investment in offspring assume a trade-off between propagule size and number, and an increasing "concave down" function relating offspring fitness to propagule size. In this study, we test these two fundamental assumptions, using three closely related species of crickets, Gry

We develop a general treatment of the joint effects of parent-offspring conflict (conflict between broods) and sibling conflict (conflict within broods) in perennial plants. Parent-offspring conflict as well as sibling conflict are examined in the context of an integrated analysis of reproductive al
