Within-population covariation between sexual reproduction and susceptibility to local parasites.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2016

Gibson Amanda K, Xu Julie Y, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary biology has yet to reconcile the ubiquity of sex with its costs relative to asexual reproduction. Here, we test the hypothesis that coevolving parasites maintain sex in their hosts. Specifically, we examined the distributions of sexual reproduction and susceptibility to local parasites within a single population of freshwater snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum). Susceptibility to local trematode...
