Abstract
I derive several properties of the model proposed by Gavrilets for maternal selection at a single diallelic locus. Most notably, (i) stable oscillations of genotype frequencies (i.e., cycling) can occur and (ii) in the special case in which maternal effects and standard viability selection act multiplicatively, maternal selection effectively acts on maternally derived alleles only.
