Antagonistic coevolution with parasites maintains host genetic diversity: an experimental test.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 2011

Bérénos Camillo, Wegner K Mathias, Schmid-Hempel Paul

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation in natural populations is a prime prerequisite allowing populations to respond to selection, but is under constant threat from forces that tend to reduce it, such as genetic drift and many types of selection. Haldane emphasized the potential importance of parasites as a driving force of genetic diversity. His theory has been taken for granted ever since, but despite numerous studies showing...
