The immunogenetics of sexual parasitism.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 25 Sept 2020

Swann Jeremy B, Holland Stephen J, Petersen Malte, Pietsch Theodore W, Boehm Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Sexual parasitism has evolved as a distinctive mode of reproduction among deep-sea anglerfishes. The permanent attachment of males to host females observed in these species represents a form of anatomical joining, which is otherwise unknown in nature. Pronounced modifications to immune facilities are associated with this reproductive trait. The genomes of species with temporarily attaching males lack functional...
