Heritable variation in resistance to gastro-intestinal nematodes in an unmanaged mammal population.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jun 1999

Smith J A, Wilson K, Pilkington J G, Pemberton J M

Abstract excerpt

The impact of parasites on natural populations has received considerable attention from evolutionary biologists in recent years. Central to a number of theoretical developments during this period is the assumption of additive genetic variation in resistance to parasites. However, very few studies have estimated the heritability of parasite resistance under field conditions, and those that have are mainly...
