Does multiple paternity influence offspring disease resistance?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2016

Thonhauser K E, Raveh S, Thoß M, Penn D J

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that polyandry allows females to increase offspring genetic diversity and reduce the prevalence and susceptibility of their offspring to infectious diseases. We tested this hypothesis in wild-derived house mice (Mus musculus) by experimentally infecting the offspring from 15 single- and 15 multiple-sired litters with two different strains of a mouse pathogen (Salmonella Typhimurium) and...
