The evolution of resistance to a parasite is determined by resources.

The American naturalist - 1 Aug 2011

Boots Mike

Abstract excerpt

Given the ubiquity of parasites, it is critical to understand the evolution of defense against them. Using a selection experiment performed across a broad range of host resources, I examine how resistance and associated costs depend on resource availability. Higher resistance to a natural viral pathogen evolves in a host when there are more resources, and this directly suggests a resource-dependent cost of the...
