Competition and the evolution of reproductive restraint in malaria parasites.

The American naturalist - 1 Mar 2011

Pollitt Laura C, Mideo Nicole, Drew Damien R, Schneider Petra, Colegrave Nick, Reece Sarah E

Abstract excerpt

All organisms must trade off resource allocation between different life processes that determine their survival and reproduction. Malaria parasites replicate asexually in the host but must produce sexual stages to transmit between hosts. Because different specialized stages are required for these functions, the division of resources between these life-history components is a key problem for natural selection to...
