Spatial and temporal patterns of parthenogenesis and parasitism in the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2005

Ben-Ami F, Heller J

Abstract excerpt

The Red Queen hypothesis predicts that sex should be more common in populations heavily infested with parasites, than in those without. This hypothesis was investigated in the aquatic snail Melanoides tuberculata, in which both sexual and parthenogenetic individuals exist in natural populations, and some populations are heavily infested by trematodes. The presence of fertile males and the higher genetic diversity...
