Abstract
The theory of inclusive ¢tness can be modi¢ed to consider separate coe¤cients of relatedness for an indivi-dual's maternal and paternal alleles. A gene is said to have parentally antagonistic e¡ects if it has an inclusive ¢tness bene¢t when maternally derived, but an inclusive ¢tness cost when paternally derived (or vice versa). Parental antagonism favours the evolution of alleles that are expressed only when maternally derived or only when paternally derived (genomic imprinting). 1.
