Evidence of parasite-mediated disruptive selection on genetic diversity in a wild fish population.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2009

Blanchet Simon, Rey Olivier, Berthier Pauline, Lek Sovan, Loot Geraldine

Abstract excerpt

Identifying the processes maintaining genetic variability in wild populations is a major concern in conservation and evolutionary biology. Parasite-mediated selection may strongly affect genetic variability in wild populations. The inbreeding depression theory predicts that directional selection imposed by parasites should act against the most inbred hosts, thus favouring genetic diversity in wild populations. We...
