Homotopy theory of category of posets is well-developed and explained in various places. My interest is in acyclic categories. Recall that in acyclic categories only invertible morphisms are the identity morphisms. A poset is an acyclic category; here there is at most $1$ morphism between any two objects. 
The category $\mathbf{Ac}$ of acyclic categories lies (strictly) between the category $\mathbf{Pos}$ of posets and the category $\mathbf{Cat}$.


I am looking for references where categorical and homotopy theoretic properties of $\mathbf{Ac}$ are discussed. 


A few references that I am aware of are the following:


1. Combinatorial algebraic topology by D. Kozlov. Chapter 10 deals with basic constructions involving acyclic categories, their subdivisions, category of intervals and Mobius inversion. Chapter 14 is about group actions on posets and quotients in $\mathbf{Ac}$. Finally, in Chapter 15 he gives an explicit construction of homotopy colimit of diagram of spaces indexed over an acyclic category.
2. Homotopy limits and colimits by R. Vogt. The paper mainly deals with topological categories (i.e., small categories whose morphism sets can be topologized), however, some constructions can be translated to $\mathbf{Ac}$.
3. Cellular stratified spaces I and II by Dai Tamaki. This is an extensive account of various useful constructions involving (generalized) cell complexes whose face categories are acyclic. He describes a range of applications of acyclic categories; from configuration spaces to toric topology.


I am interested in knowing answers to the following:


1. Homotopy category of $\mathbf{Ac}$.
2. Model structures on $\mathbf{Ac}$.
3. Grothendieck construction for diagrams in $\mathbf{Ac}$.
4. Quillen's theorems A and B.
5. The category of $\mathbf{Ac}$-diagrams.



Homotopy theory of acyclic categories
[Here](http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.00992) is a cool new (and very readable) preprint which uses the second barycentric subdivision (as discussed in Zhen Lin, Fernando Muro and Peter May's comments) to construct a cofibrantly generated model structure on $\textbf{Ac}$ which is Quillen-equivalent to the Thomason model structure on $\textbf{Cat}$.

Caveat: this only applies to small acyclic categories.
