Intra- and intersexual differences in parasite resistance and female fitness tolerance in a polymorphic insect.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 25 Jan 2017

Willink Beatriz, Svensson Erik I

Abstract excerpt

To understand host-parasite interactions, it is necessary to quantify variation and covariation in defence traits. We quantified parasite resistance and fitness tolerance of a polymorphic damselfly (Ischnura elegans), an insect with three discrete female colour morphs but with monomorphic males. We quantified sex and morph differences in parasite resistance (prevalence and intensity of water mite infections) and...
