Multiple mating and family structure of the western tent caterpillar, Malacosoma californicum pluviale: impact on disease resistance.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Franklin Michelle T, Ritland Carol E, Myers Judith H, Cory Jenny S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Levels of genetic diversity can strongly influence the dynamics and evolutionary changes of natural populations. Survival and disease resistance have been linked to levels of genetic diversity in eusocial insects, yet these relationships remain untested in gregarious insects where disease transmission can be high and selection for resistance is likely to be strong. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here...
