Parasites and deleterious mutations: interactions influencing the evolutionary maintenance of sex.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2010

Park A W, Jokela J, Michalakis Y

Abstract excerpt

The restrictive assumptions associated with purely genetic and purely ecological mechanisms suggest that neither of the two forces, in isolation, can offer a general explanation for the evolutionary maintenance of sex. Consequently, attention has turned to pluralistic models (i.e. models that app...
