Cost of resistance to trematodes in freshwater snail populations with low clonal diversity.

BMC ecology - 13 Dec 2017

Dagan Yael, Kosman Evsey, Ben-Ami Frida

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The persistence of high genetic variability in natural populations garners considerable interest among ecologists and evolutionary biologists. One proposed hypothesis for the maintenance of high levels of genetic diversity relies on frequency-dependent selection imposed by parasites on host populations (Red Queen hypothesis). A complementary hypothesis suggests that a trade-off between fitness costs...
