When do host-parasite interactions drive the evolution of non-random mating?

Ecology letters - 1 Sept 2008

Nuismer Scott L, Otto Sarah P, Blanquart François

Abstract excerpt

Interactions with parasites may promote the evolution of disassortative mating in host populations as a mechanism through which genetically diverse offspring can be produced. This possibility has been confirmed through simulation studies and suggested for some empirical systems in which disassortative mating by disease resistance genotype has been documented. The generality of this phenomenon is unclear, however,...
