Examples range from meiotic drive and cytoplasmic male sterility to transposable elements and supernumerary B chromosomes. While once treated as genetic curiosities, they are now seen as widespread and major drivers of eukaryotic genome evolution. Yet their study remains fragmented, with no clear entry point not only for those who wish to gain an overview of theoretical advances, or those who wish to construct models of their own. Here, we discuss ways in which internal evolutionary conflicts have been modelled and develop a common population genetic framework for building such models. The framework provides explicit criteria for what counts as conflict, distinguishing it from fitness trade-offs, and formalises how and when internal conflicts arise. By treating different cases within the same structure, it shows that these diverse phenomena share a common logic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jeb\/voag092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T23:39:59Z","timestamp":1790725199000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Internal evolutionary conflicts: a conceptual synthesis and mathematical primer"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9808-9987","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gaurav S","family":"Athreya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Organismic and Molecular Evolution (iomE), Johannes Gutenburg University of Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]},{"name":"Institute for Quantitative and Computational Biosciences (IQCB), Johannes Gutenburg University of Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ananda Shikhara","family":"Bhat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Organismic and Molecular Evolution (iomE), Johannes Gutenburg University of Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]},{"name":"Institute for Quantitative and Computational Biosciences (IQCB), Johannes Gutenburg University of Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J Arvid","family":"\u00c5gren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University , 9501 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland OH 44195 ,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Department of Genomic Sciences and Systems Biology, Cleveland Clinic Research , 9500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland OH 44195 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9736-0405","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"E Yagmur","family":"Erten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences, University of Groningen , Groningen , the","place":["Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7692-6190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas A","family":"Keaney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Organismic and Molecular Evolution (iomE), Johannes Gutenburg University of Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]},{"name":"Institute for Quantitative and Computational Biosciences (IQCB), Johannes Gutenburg University of Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"container-title":["Journal of Evolutionary Biology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jeb\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/jeb\/voag092\/71469182\/voag092.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"am","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jeb\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/jeb\/voag092\/71469182\/voag092.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T23:39:59Z","timestamp":1790725199000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jeb\/advance-article\/doi\/10.1093\/jeb\/voag092\/8845837"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jeb\/voag092","relation":{},"ISSN":["1420-9101"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1420-9101","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"article-number":"voag092"}}
