The genotype specific competitive ability does not correlate with infection in natural Daphnia magna populations.

PloS one - 5 Dec 2007

Altermatt Florian, Ebert Dieter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Different evolutionary hypotheses predict a correlation between the fitness of a genotype in the absence of infection and the likelihood to become infected. The cost of resistance hypothesis predicts that resistant genotypes pay a cost of being resistant and are less fit in the absence of parasites. The inbreeding-infection hypothesis predicts that the susceptible individuals are less fit due to...
