Host-parasite interactions and the evolution of nonrandom mating.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2014

Greenspoon Philip B, M'Gonigle Leithen K

Abstract excerpt

Some species mate nonrandomly with respect to alleles underlying immunity. One hypothesis proposes that this is advantageous because nonrandom mating can lead to offspring with superior parasite resistance. We investigate this hypothesis, generalizing previous models in four ways: First, rather than only examining invasibility of modifiers of nonrandom mating, we identify evolutionarily stable strategies. Second,...
