  text: A method is developed that describes the effects on an arbitrary number of
    autosomal loci of selection on haploid and diploid stages, of nonrandom mating
    between haploid individuals, and of recombination. We provide exact recursions
    for the dynamics of allele frequencies and linkage disequilibria (nonrandom associations
    of alleles across loci). When selection is weak relative to recombination, our
    recursions provide simple approximations for the linkage disequilibria among arbitrary
    combinations of loci. We show how previous models of sex-independent natural selection
    on diploids, assortative mating between haploids, and sexual selection on haploids
    can be analyzed in this framework. Using our weak-selection approximations, we
    derive new results concerning the coevolution of male traits and female preferences
    under natural and sexual selection. In particular, we provide general expressions
    for the intensity of linkage-disequilibrium induced selection experienced by loci
    that contribute to female preferences for specific male traits. Our general results
    support the previous observation that these indirect selection forces are so weak
    that they are unlikely to dominate the evolution of preference-producing loci.
