Heritability of resistance against ectoparasitism in the Drosophila-Macrocheles system.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2003

Polak M

Abstract excerpt

Ectoparasites are abundant in natural communities, can have pronounced deleterious fitness consequences to their host and are important vectors of transmissible parasitic disease. Yet very few studies have estimated the magnitude of heritable genetic variation underlying resistance against ectopa...
