The effect of host social system on parasite population genetic structure: comparative population genetics of two ectoparasitic mites and their bat hosts.

BMC evolutionary biology - 30 Jan 2014

van Schaik Jaap, Kerth Gerald, Bruyndonckx Nadia, Christe Philippe

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The population genetic structure of a parasite, and consequently its ability to adapt to a given host, is strongly linked to its own life history as well as the life history of its host. While the effects of parasite life history on their population genetic structure have received some attention, the effect of host social system has remained largely unstudied. In this study, we investigated the...
