Costs of resistance: genetic correlations and potential trade-offs in an insect immune system.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Mar 2004

Cotter S C, Kruuk L E B, Wilson K

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that natural selection will erode additive genetic variation in fitness-related traits. However, numerous studies have found considerable heritable variation in traits related to immune function, which should be closely linked to fitness. This could be due to trade-offs maintaining variation in these traits. We used the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis, as a model system to examine...
