The evolution of sexual dimorphism and its potential impact on host-pathogen coevolution.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2016

Gipson Stephen A Y, Hall Matthew D

Abstract excerpt

Sex and infection are intimately linked. Many diseases are spread by sexual contact, males are thought to evolve exaggerated sexual signals to demonstrate their immune robustness, and pathogens have been shown to direct the evolution of recombination. In all of these examples, infection is influencing the evolution of male and female fitness, but less is known about how sex differences influence pathogen fitness....
