Table 2. Parameters determining invasion of mutant neo-Y and neo-W alleles into an ancestrally XY system.

m is a neo-Y (k = 0)
ΛYA(XY)=(2ζ)1[p^XwAwAwAA+(1p^X)wawAwAa(1+α)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)
ΛYa(XY)=(2ζ)1[(1p^X)wawawaa+p^XwAwawAa(1α)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)
χYA(XY)=R(2ζ)1[(1p^X)wawAwAa(1+α)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)
χYa(XY)=R(2ζ)1[p^XwAwawAa(1α)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)
m is a neo-W (k = 1)
ΛWA(XY)=[2(1ζ)]1[p¯wAwAwAA+(1p¯)wAwAwAa(1+αΔ)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)
ΛWa(XY)=[2(1ζ)]1[(1p¯)wawawaa+p¯wAwawAa(1αΔ)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)
χWA(XY)=R[2(1ζ)]1[(1p¯)wawAwAa(1+αΔ)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)
χWa(XY)=R[2(1ζ)]1[p¯wAwawAa(1αΔ)]/(w¯Hw¯Hw¯D)

p¯=(1q^Y)p^X+q^Yp^Y is the average frequency of the A allele among X- and Y-bearing male gametes. q^Y is the frequency of Y-bearing male gametes. ξ is the zygotic sex ratio (fraction male). Inline graphic is the mean fitness of diploids of sex Inline graphic. Inline graphic is the mean fitness of haploids from sex Inline graphic (see S2 Table). R is the rate of recombination between the neo-sex determiner and the selected locus. Selection terms (Inline graphic, Inline graphic) are described in Table 1.
