Artificial selection is a special case of natural selection, thus if a

That depends on how you define your terms.

It is conventional to treat sexual selection
and artificial selection as /not/ being subsets
of natural selection, following Darwin's own
usage of these terms.

For purposes of mathematical modeling, artificial selection is
undistinghishable from non-artificial natural selection.

I'm not sure about sexual selection since it's probably frequency
dependent.
