Parent–offspring conflict
Is this soap opera or science? It can be both, but in evolutionary biology it refers to the subtly different ways natural selection acts on genes expressed in parents and their offspring.

But natural se...

This is significant because parents and children often have conflicting mate preferences. We provide a brief review of how parents have influenced their children’s mating behavior across cultures and throughout history. Then, by drawing on evolu...
متن کاملNight waking, breastfeeding and parent–offspring conflict
Disrupted sleep is probably the most common complaint of parents with a new baby. Night waking increases in the second half of the first year of infant life and is more pronounced for breastfed infants. Sleep-related phenotypes of infants with Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes suggest that imprinted genes of paternal origin promote greater wakefulness whereas imprinted genes of maternal origi...
