Abstract excerpt
To gain insight into genetic variation for resistance to parasites, this study assayed clonal variation in cyclically parthenogenetic Daphnia magna with respect to parasitic infection. Samples were collected from natural populations, and the allozyme phenotypes of infected hosts were compared to those of uninfected hosts. Differences between the clonal composition of the infected and uninfected class were evident...
