In haplodiploids, (1) alleles spend twice as many generations in females as in males, (2) males are never heterozygous and therefore express recessive alleles, and (3) males sire daughters, but no sons. Intralocus sexual conflict therefore operates differently in haplodiploids than in diploids, and shares strong similarities with loci on X (or Z) chromosomes. The common co-occurrence of all three features makes it difficult to pinpoint their respective roles. However, they do not always co-occur in nature, and missing cases can be additionally studied with hypothetical life cycles. We model sexually antagonistic alleles in eight different sex determination systems, and find that arguments (1) and (2) promote invasion and fixation of female-beneficial and male-beneficial alleles, respectively; (2) also improves prospects for polymorphism. Argument (3) harms the invasion prospects of sexually antagonistic alleles (irrespective of which sex benefits), but promotes fixation should invasion nevertheless occur. Disentangling the features helps to evaluate the validity of previous verbal arguments and yields better informed predictions about intralocus sexual conflict under different sex determination systems, including hitherto undiscovered ones.
