Abstract excerpt
Specific interactions of host and parasite genotypes can lead to balancing selection, maintaining genetic diversity within populations. In order to understand the drivers of such specific coevolution, it is necessary to identify the molecular underpinnings of these genotypic interactions. Here, we investigate the genetic basis of resistance in the crustacean host, Daphnia magna, to attachment and subsequent...
