Addicted? Reduced host resistance in populations with defensive symbionts.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 29 Jun 2016

Abstract excerpt

Heritable symbionts that protect their hosts from pathogens have been described in a wide range of insect species. By reducing the incidence or severity of infection, these symbionts have the potential to reduce the strength of selection on genes in the insect genome that increase resistance. Therefore, the presence of such symbionts may slow down the evolution of resistance. Here we investigated this idea by...
