This project aims to provide new theory and analysis methods for studying the genetic basis of female and male fitness. The project expects to provide new insights into the evolutionary, genetic and demographic mechanisms that influence evolutionary genetic diversity within populations. The project will reveal how sex differences in selection affect adaptation, and provide a framework for predicting whether populations with separate sexes are able to persist under changing environmental conditions. By developing a rigorous theoretical foundation for sex-specific adaptation – including genome inference methods that follow logically from the theory – the proposal will define new approaches for studying evolutionary processes in natural populations.

该项目旨在为研究女性和男性健身的遗传基础提供新的理论和分析方法。该项目期望为影响种群内进化遗传多样性的进化、遗传和人口统计机制提供新的见解。该项目将揭示选择中的性别差异如何影响适应，并提供一个框架来预测不同性别的种群是否能够在不断变化的环境条件下持续存在。通过为性别特异性适应建立严格的理论基础——包括逻辑上遵循该理论的基因组推断方法——该提案将为研究自然群体进化过程定义新方法。
