Ancient origin of placental expression in the growth hormone genes of anthropoid primates
Papper, Z.; Jameson, N. M.; Romero, R.; Weckle, A. L.; Mittal, P.; Benirschke, K.; Santolaya-Forgas, J.; Uddin, M.; Haig, David Addison; Goodman, M.; Wildman, D. E. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009)In anthropoid primates, growth hormone (GH) genes have undergone at least 2 independent locus expansions, one in platyrrhines (New World monkeys) and another in catarrhines (Old World monkeys and apes). In catarrhines, the ... -
Brood Reduction and Optimal Parental Investment when Offspring Differ in Quality
Haig, David Addison (University of Chicago Press, 1990)No abstract -
Causes and Consequences of Cooperative Construction in the Mice Mus spicilegus and Peromyscus polionotus
Tong, Wenfei (2013-03-14)The cooperative construction of shared dwellings is a phylogenetically-widespread evolutionary puzzle. Shared shelters are common goods – all individuals in the shelter benefit, at the expense of those individuals that ... -
Challenging Cooperation: Inequality, Global Commons, Future Generations
Hauser, Oliver Paul (2016-04-25)Cooperation is abundant in the world around us, spanning all levels of biological and social organisation. Yet the existence and maintenance of cooperation is puzzling from an evolutionary perspective because the costs ... -
Coadaptation and conflict, misconception and muddle, in the evolution of genomic imprinting
Haig, David Addison (Nature Publishing Group, 2013)Common misconceptions of the ‘parental conflict’ theory of genomic imprinting are addressed. Contrary to widespread belief, the theory defines conditions for cooperation as well as conflict in mother–offspring relations. ... -
Coleochaete and the origin of sporophytes
Haig, David Addison (Botanical Society of America, 2015)Premise of the study: Zygotes of Coleochaete are provisioned by the maternal thallus before undergoing 3–5 rounds of division to produce 8–32 zoospores. An understanding of the selective forces favoring postzygotic divisions ... -

Divergent Mating Systems and Parental Conflict as a Barrier to Hybridization in Flowering Plants
Brandvain, Yaniv; Haig, David (University of Chicago Press, 2005)Parental conflicts can lead to antagonistic coevolution of the sexes and of parental genomes. Within a population, the resulting antagonistic effects should balance, but crosses between populations can reveal conflict. ... -
Does heritability hide in epistasis between linked SNPs?
Haig, David Addison (Nature Publishing Group, 2010) -
Does microchimerism mediate kin conflicts?
Haig, David Addison (Informa UK Limited, 2014)Fetal microchimerism (FMc) is predicted to promote the fitness of the fetus and maternal microchimerism (MMc) to promote the fitness of the mother. Offspring and mothers benefit from each other’s health. Therefore, ... -
The Effect of Development and Ecology on the Evolution of Ovary Size in Drosophila
Sarikaya, Didem Pelin (2015-05-20)How the size of an organ is established and altered during evolution is poorly understood. The ovary of fruit flies of the genus Drosophila serves as an interesting model for understanding organ size evolution, as the ... -
Embryo Selection and Mate Choice: Can ‘Honest Signals’ Be Trusted?
McCoy, Dakota; Haig, David (Elsevier BV, 2020-04)When a measure becomes a target, it often ceases to be a good measure – an effect familiar from the declining usefulness of standardized testing in schools. This economic principle also applies to mate choice and, perhaps ... -
The Epidemiology of Epigenetics
Haig, David Addison (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012) -
The Evolution of Imprinted microRNAs and Their RNA Targets
Haig, David; Mainieri, Avantika (MDPI AG, 2020-09-03)Mammalian genomes contain many imprinted microRNAs. When an imprinted miRNA targets an unimprinted mRNA their interaction may have different fitness consequences for the loci encoding the miRNA and mRNA. In one possible ... -
Evolution of Parasitism in the Lycaenidae (Lepidoptera)
Kaliszewska, Zofia (2015-10-01)Of the four most diverse insect orders, the Lepidoptera contain remarkably few predatory and/or parasitic taxa, and while species with carnivorous life histories have evolved independently numerous times in moths and ... -
The Evolutionary Feedback between Genetic Conflict and Genome Architecture
Young, Adrian (2014-06-06)The advent of separate sexes set the stage for dramatic evolutionary innovation across a wide range of taxa. Much of this innovation is attributable to divergent evolutionary interests between now distinct sub-populations ... -
Evolutionary Perspectives on Pregnancy
Haig, David Addison (Elsevier BV, 2013) -
Fertile soil or no man's land: cooperation and conflict in the placental bed
Haig, David Addison (2010) -
Fighting the good cause: meaning, purpose, difference, and choice
Haig, David Addison (Springer Science + Business Media, 2014)Concepts of cause, choice, and information are closely related. A cause is a choice that can be held responsible. It is a difference that makes a difference. Information about past causes and their effects is a valuable ...
