Spatial mosaic evolution of snail defensive traits.

BMC evolutionary biology - 30 Mar 2007

Johnson Steven G, Hulsey C Darrin, de León Francisco J García

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent models suggest that escalating reciprocal selection among antagonistically interacting species is predicted to occur in areas of higher resource productivity. In a putatively coevolved interaction between a freshwater snail (Mexipyrgus churinceanus) and a molluscivorous cichlid (Herichthys minckleyi), we examined three components of this interaction: 1) spatial variation in two putative...
