Risk of ectoparasitism and genetic diversity in a wild lesser kestrel population.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2007

Ortego Joaquín, Aparicio Jose Miguel, Calabuig Gustau, Cordero Pedro J

Abstract excerpt

Parasites and infectious diseases are major determinants of population dynamics and adaptive processes, imposing fitness costs to their hosts and promoting genetic variation in natural populations. In the present study, we evaluate the role of individual genetic diversity on risk of parasitism by...
