The genetic architecture underlying prey-dependent performance in a microbial predator.

Nature communications - 14 Jan 2022

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection should favour generalist predators that outperform specialists across all prey types. Two genetic solutions could explain why intraspecific variation in predatory performance is, nonetheless, widespread: mutations beneficial on one prey type are costly on another (antagonistic pleiotropy), or mutational effects are prey-specific, which weakens selection, allowing variation to persist (relaxed...
