Abstract excerpt
Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites, the reciprocal evolution of host resistance and parasite infectivity, has important implications in ecology and evolution. The dynamics of coevolution-notably whether host or parasite has an evolutionary advantage-is greatly affected by the relative amount of genetic variation in host resistance and parasite infectivity traits. While studies have manipulated...
