The cost of being common: evidence from natural Daphnia populations.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2009

Wolinska Justyna, Spaak Piet

Abstract excerpt

The Red Queen coevolutionary hypothesis predicts that parasites drive oscillations in host genotype frequencies due to frequency-dependent selection where common hosts are at disadvantage. However, examples of this phenomenon in natural populations are scarce. To examine if the Red Queen theory operates in the wild, we studied the genetic structure of populations of the crustacean waterflea (Daphnia), in relation...
