Host sex and local adaptation by parasites in a snail-trematode interaction.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2004

Lively Curtis M, Dybdahl Mark F, Jokela Jukka, Osnas Erik E, Delph Lynda F

Abstract excerpt

One of the leading theories for the evolutionary stability of sex in eukaryotes relies on parasite-mediated selection against locally common host genotypes (the Red Queen hypothesis). As such, parasites would be expected to be better at infecting sympatric host populations than allopatric host populations. Here we examined all published and unpublished infection experiments on a snail-trematode system...
