I derive several properties of the model proposed by Gavriletsfor maternal selection at a single diallelic locus. Most notably,(i) stable oscillations of genotype frequencies (i.e., cycling)can occur and (ii) in the special case in which maternal effectsand standard viability selection act multiplicatively, maternalselection effectively acts on maternally derived alleles only.
