High diversity and low genetic structure of feather mites associated with a phenotypically variable bird host.

Parasitology - 1 Aug 2018

Fernández-González Sofía, Pérez-Rodríguez Antón, Proctor Heather C, De la Hera Iván, Pérez-Tris Javier

Abstract excerpt

Obligate symbionts may be genetically structured among host individuals and among phenotypically distinct host populations. Such processes may in turn determine within-host genetic diversity of symbionts, which is relevant for understanding symbiont population dynamics. We analysed the population genetic structure of two species of feather mites (Proctophyllodes sylviae and Trouessartia bifurcata) in migratory...
