Estimating Genetic and Maternal Effects Determining Variation in Immune Function of a Mixed-Mating Snail.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Seppälä Otto, Langeloh Laura

Abstract excerpt

Evolution of host defenses such as immune function requires heritable genetic variation in them. However, also non-genetic maternal effects can contribute to phenotypic variation, thus being an alternative target for natural selection. We investigated the role of individuals' genetic background and maternal effects in determining immune defense traits (phenoloxidase and antibacterial activity of hemolymph), as...
