The geographic mosaic of sex and infection in lake populations of a New Zealand snail at multiple spatial scales.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2013

Vergara Daniela, Lively Curtis M, King Kayla C, Jokela Jukka

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how sexual and asexual forms of the same species coexist is a challenge for evolutionary biology. The Red Queen hypothesis predicts that sex is favored by parasite-mediated selection against common asexual genotypes, leading to the coexistence of sexual and asexual hosts. In a geogr...
