Gene flow and adaptive potential in a generalist ectoparasite.

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 Jun 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In host-parasite systems, relative dispersal rates condition genetic novelty within populations and thus their adaptive potential. Knowledge of host and parasite dispersal rates can therefore help us to understand current interaction patterns in wild populations and why these patterns shift over time and space. For generalist parasites however, estimates of dispersal rates depend on both host range...
