In his Sex and Evolution book Williams discusses the ""Cod-Starfish model"" of sweepstakes reproductive success. Cod are among the most fecund vertebrates. We are using genetics and genomics to study cod-fish reproduction and present evidence for reproductive sweepstakes in parameter estimates using models of multiple merger coalescence. We ask about codweb, the nature of adaptive variation using genomic phylonetwork analysis.
