Puzzles in modern biology. I. Male sterility, failure reveals design [PDF]
F1000Research 5:2088 (2016), 2016 Many human males produce dysfunctional sperm. Various plants frequently abort pollen. Hybrid matings often produce sterile males. Widespread male sterility is puzzling. Natural selection prunes reproductive failure. Puzzling failure implies something that we do not understand about how organisms are designed.

Strong gender differences in reproductive success variance, and the times to the most recent common ancestors [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 310, 43-54 (2012), 2012 The Time To the Most Recent Common Ancestor (TMRCA) based on human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is estimated to be twice that based on the non-recombining part of the Y chromosome (NRY). These TMRCAs have special demographic implications because mtDNA is transmitted only from mother to child, and NRY from father to son.
