Hybrid fitness in a locally adapted parasite.

The American naturalist - 1 Dec 2008

Dybdahl Mark F, Jokela Jukka, Delph Lynda F, Koskella Britt, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

The parasite (Red Queen) hypothesis for the maintenance of sexual reproduction and genetic diversity assumes that host-parasite interactions result from tight genetic specificity. Hence, hybridization between divergent parasite populations would be expected to disrupt adaptive gene combinations,...
