The impact of local population genetic background on the spread of the selfish element Medea‐1 in red flour beetles

Abstract Selfish genetic elements have been found in the genomes of many species, yet our understanding of their evolutionary dynamics is only partially understood. A number of distinct selfish Medea elements are naturally present in many populations of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum). Al...
