We develop a series of models that examine the effects of differential selection between the sexes on cytonuclear polymorphism and disequilibria. A detailed analysis is provided for populations under constant fertility or viability selection censused at life stages without frequency differences in the sexes. We show analytically that cytonuclear disequilibria can be generated de novo if the cytoplasmic and nuclear loci each affect female fitness and there is a nonmultiplicative fitness interaction between them. While computer simulations demonstrate that the majority of disequilibria produced by random selection are transient and small in magnitude, measurable permanent disequilibria can result from selective differences both within and between the two sexes. We derive analytic conditions for a protected cytonuclear polymorphism and use numerical simulations to quantitate the likelihood of obtaining permanent nuclear, cytoplasmic, and cytonuclear variation under various patterns of selection. The numerical analysis identifies special selection regimes more likely to generate disequilibria and maintain cytonuclear polymorphism and reveals a direct correlation to the strength of selection. As a byproduct, our models also provide the first decomposition of the different parental contributions to cytonuclear dynamics and the analytic conditions under which selection can cause cytoplasmic frequency changes or a cytonuclear hitchhiking effect.
